L S Lowry RA 1887-1976 4 Sept to 14 Nov Royal Academy of Arts 1976

The Royal Academy Memorial Exhibition, 1976

This is the official catalogue from the Royal Academy of Arts retrospective exhibition held from 4 September to 14 November 1976 — the year of Lowry's death. It stands as both a scholarly record and a poignant farewell: a major institution's tribute to an artist who had spent much of his life working quietly outside the mainstream, only to be recognised as one of the defining figures of 20th-century British art.

The catalogue includes a preface by Hugh Casson, President of the Royal Academy, and covers 100 pages of plates and commentary. A piece of art history in its own right.
