The Drawings of L S Lowry 1976 by Mervyn Levy published by Jupiter Books

182 Drawings — Public and Private

This is the definitive study of Lowry as a draughtsman. Published in 1976 by Jupiter Books, Mervyn Levy's The Drawings of L.S. Lowry: Public and Private brings together 182 drawings — from the well-known to the rarely seen — with an introduction and detailed notes by Levy, who knew Lowry personally and wrote extensively about his work.

Where Lowry's paintings are celebrated for their crowds and industrial landscapes, his drawings reveal a more intimate and searching side of the artist: figure studies, portraits, and private observations that rarely made it onto canvas. This volume is an essential companion to any serious study of his practice.

A beautifully produced Jupiter Books hardback, in very good condition.
