L.S. Lowry 洛瑞(1887-1976)
Laurence Stephen Lowry was an English artist. Many of his drawings and paintings depict Pendlebury, Lancashire, where he lived and worked for more than 40 years, and also Salford and its surrounding areas.
劳伦斯·斯蒂芬·洛瑞是一位英国艺术家。他的许多手绘和画作描绘了兰开夏郡的Pendlebury，在那里他生活和工作了40多年，还有索尔福德及其周边地区。
Lowry is famous for painting scenes of life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century. He developed a distinctive style of painting and is best known for his urban landscapes peopled with human figures often referred to as "matchstick men". He painted mysterious unpopulated landscapes, brooding portraits and the unpublished "marionette" works, which were only found after his death. Due to his use of stylised figures and the lack of weather effects in many of his landscapes he is sometimes characterised as a naïve "Sunday painter", although this is not the view of the galleries that have organised retrospectives of his works.
洛瑞以20世纪中叶在英格兰西北部工业区的绘画场景而闻名。他发展了一种独特的绘画风格，以他的城市景观而闻名，他被称为“火柴人”。他描绘了神秘的无人居住的风景，沉思的肖像画和未出版的“木偶”作品，这些作品只有在他死后才被发现。由于他使用了风格化的人物和在他的许多风景中缺乏天气效果，他有时被描绘成一个天真的“星期日画家”，尽管这不是组织他的作品回顾展的画廊的观点。
A large collection of Lowry's work is on permanent public display in the Lowry, a purpose-built art gallery on Salford Quays named in his honour. Lowry rejected five honours during his life, including a knighthood in 1968, and consequently holds the record for the most rejected British honours. On 26 June 2013 a major retrospective opened at the Tate Britain in London, his first at the Tate, and in 2014 his first solo exhibition outside the UK was held in Nanjing, China
洛瑞作品的大量收藏是在洛瑞的永久性公共展览中展出的。劳里是以他荣誉命名的索尔福德码头上的一个专门建造的美术馆。洛瑞在他的一生中拒绝了五项荣誉，其中包括1968年的爵士，并因此获得了被拒绝最多的英国荣誉的记录。2013年6月26日，在伦敦泰特英国举行了一次大型回顾展，这是他在泰特的第一次，2014次在英国以外的第一次个人展会在中国南京举行。
