L S Lowry Signed limited editions
Reuben Colley Fine Art is proud to present an exhibition of outstanding
Lowry signed limited editions.
Lowry, who was born in 1887, trained at Manchester School of Art under the impressionist painter Pierre Adolphe Vallette. He expressed his passion for
the industrial landscape of the north of England through his distinctive ‘naive’ paintings and drawings. His work is instantly recognisable, and hangs in art
galleries around the world.
Around 50 of Lowry’s works were reproduced as signed limited editions. Published in the 1970s, they were personally signed by Lowry and most were
stamped by the Fine Art Trade Guild.
Up to 12 months interest-free finance available on selected works – please enquire for details.

The original painting ‘An Industrial Town’ is part of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery’s permanent collection, and is currently on display there Lowry has packed into this small painting all the features for which he became renowned: the factories with their smoking chimneys, homes and warehouses, the pool on which people are at play, and the crowds of going about their daily business. This scene does not represent any specific town. Lowry often invented his townscapes, culling features from many different locations. In the background, Viaduct appears, and ManchesAll Angels’ Church towers over the town.
