Born in Manchester Lowry became famous as a painter of northern industrial and back street urban scenes populated with 'matchstick' figures. He studied under William Fitz before attending classes at the Municipal College of Art and finally attended Salford School of Art. During his career Lowry exhibited widely and a major retrospective of his work was held at the Royal Academy following his death in 1976. Lowry's work is held in many public collections including the Tate Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
