Author: Shelley Rohde
Title: L.S. Lowry: A Life
Description: Haus Publishing, 2007. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9781904950493 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight wear to jacket edges. A nicely kept copy. This is a penetrating and fascinating psychological study of the artist L.S.Lowry. Based on the author's personal knowledge of Lowry, interviews with those who knew him and other archive material, Rohde paints her own portrait of a unique man in thrall to his perpetually disappointed mother, who, despite her fervent wish that he give up painting, devotes his emotional life to his art to become one of Britain's best-loved and most recognisable artists. Rohde is highly readable, the book well illustrated, and Lowry himself comes alive off the page - a highly complex man but one infused with compassion and with a dogged persistence towards his vision. Highly recommended. (Reader review) 250 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN/EAN: 9781904950493. Inventory No: dscf11419.
