Visionary painter of the edgelands
On the occasion of the exhibition 'Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life', on view at Tate Britain, London (26 June-20 Oct. 2013), the author argues that the British artist's views of industrialized Manchester reveal an \"alter-city\", comprised of edgelands, wastelands and marginal spaces. He considers works such as 'River Scene (Industrial Landscape)' (1935), and 'The Lake' (1937; col. illus.), suggesting that such visionary images go beyond Lowry's reputation as a painter of gritty reality.
