Sir John Rothenstein says in his forword to this book " Miss Rohde's book offers a comprehensive account of Lowry's character, lafe and art. It constitutes the most detailed description of Lowry so far produced or likely to be". Fascinating study of an unusual but highly talented man who confounded the Manchester art establishment by becoming one of the most significant painters of the 20th century. Lowry's work is now among the most collectable of his era. The most impressive thing about Lowry, apart from his pictures, was his determination to live life his way. He was never fazed by success and always insisted he was not an artist, but 'a man who paints.' He was a solitary but amiable figure who was instinctively creative, making images from the unpromising terrain of the urban north. 'I don't know why I do it. There doesn't seem any point to it,' he said. Ref CC 3.
