The Definitive Lowry Biography
First published in 1979, Sheila Rohde's L.S. Lowry: A Biography remains the essential account of one of Britain's most beloved and enigmatic artists. Drawing on personal acquaintance with Lowry himself, Rohde offers an intimate portrait of the man behind the matchstick figures — his solitary life in Salford, his quiet determination, and the decades of near-obscurity before the world caught up with his genius.
This is the third edition, published in 1999 by The Lowry Press, and runs to 472 pages. A substantial and authoritative work, and an indispensable addition to any collection focused on 20th-century British art.
