Surprises at the Lowry Museum

 

I get rather disappointed at modern art galleries.

The Liverpool Tate was full of a load of junk and it often seems that the more spectacular the building the more banal and poor the contents.

Now I knew about Lowry and his matchstick men, so it was with no small amount of trepidation that I approached the museum that holds his pictures in Salford.



But the Lowry pictures are a revelation. Not because of the ones we all know about, but because of those we don't.

Go and see his seascapes and portraits. As well of course as his famous street scenes.
