拍品专文

Lowry's portraiture is always challenging and demanding. The artist used portrait heads, of himself, other figures and family groups as an outlet for the expression of his moods, sometimes traumatic and disturbing. This externalisation of the private self often resulted in paintings dominated by a brutal honesty and loneliness.
