L.S. Lowry is probably one of the best known of British Artist, particularly for his 'matchstick men'. However, if you really look at his pictures of people, even in crowds, they really are not matchstick men. This beautifully produced book goes through the A to Z of Lowry and is illustrated with his paintings or drawings on virtually every page. It is written in a very simple style and it is possibly aimed at children. However, any lover of Lowry's work would be pleased to have it.

The Lowry Lexicon

Lowry, as an artist, is closely associated with Salford and Manchester where he spent his life. His paintings show the streets and buildings of the two places and the people who lived and worked in them. This book, again beautifully illustrated and produced, links each of the paintings reproduced here to their original location with photographs of the place as it looks today. The text gives information on the location and how and why Lowry painted it. This is another excellent and interesting books for all lovers of Lowry's work.
