Lowry's Double Vision Art
The latest Lowry exhibition - Double Vision - takes an unusual shape. Pictures are displayed in pairs, inviting visitors to spot Lowry's visual obsessions and recurring themes. Double Vision also pairs Lowry's work with other artists who shared his choice of subject matter showing us that, far from being an eccentric, artistic loner, Lowry is firmly part of 20th century British art.
