This classic LS Lowry painting depicts a man lying on a wall in the Lancashire town of Haslingden. Lowry said of his characterful painting: "People refused to believe me when I told them I saw a man dressed like that, doing just that... I couldn't resist doing him as a subject." With its fuming smokestacks, contented workman and suitcase cheekily bearing Lowry's own initials, this image is a fine combination of skilful art and wry northern humour.
The print is presented in a black hand-stained solid ash wood frame that gives this classic image a suitably contemporary feel and perfectly complements the artist's chosen colour scheme.
Laurence Stephen Lowry was born in Stretford, Lancashire, in 1887. He began to draw at the age of 8 and at 15 began attending private painting classes. On leaving school in 1904, Lowry began work in Manchester as a clerk with a firm of chartered accountants. He studied painting and drawing in the evenings at the Municipal College of Art (1905-15) and at Salford School of Art (1915-25). Despite his unusually long period as an art student, Lowry considered himself to be a self-taught artist. Lowry is best known for his paintings of industrial landscapes of the north of England.
