Laurence Stephen Lowry RBA, RA (1887-1976)"The Sea"Signed and dated 1965, pencil, 24.5cm by 34cmProvenance: The Stone Gallery, Newcastle Upon TyneFor a related preparatory pencil study (1965) see Sotheby's London, "Modern and Post War British Art", June 10 2015 lot 144A highly comparable oil painting to the present work titled "The North Sea", was sold at Tennants Auctioneers, "Modern and Contemporary Art", 15 October 2022, lot 122, for £840,000 plus buyer’s premium (see image)Lowry was fascinated by the sea. At once both beautiful and dangerously powerful, it was a constant source of inspiration to the solitary artist and he painted it throughout his life. Whilst the majority of his seaside pictures depict bustling seafronts and boats on the North West coast, from the early 1940s he began to depict pure seascapes. These rare, seemingly simple yet highly sophisticated works are far removed from the bustling industrial streets scenes for which he is better known.After the death of his overbearing mother in 1939, Lowry frequently stayed for long periods of time at the Seaburn Hotel in Sunderland, to which he became deeply attached. Here he always stayed in the same room, which looked straight out at the empty expanse of the North Sea, sketching, and watching the water and sky melding at the horizon. The work is stuck down onto the back board of the mount. Some very light surface dirt. Slight shadow to the outer edges where the mount has been in position. Minor crease from left of top margin down the left edge into the sea (see image), another minor crease lower right corner and one upper right edge.

Laurence Stephen Lowry RBA, RA (1887-1976)"The Stepped Street" Signed and dated 1929, pencil, 38cm by 27.5cmProvenance: Phillips London, Tuesday 4th June 1991, British, Irish, Traditional Modern and Contemporary, lot 63 "The Stepped Street", 1929 is a superb example of Lowry’s mastery of drawing and comes from a golden period of productivity, creativity and artistic energy which formed the foundation of his successes to come . Shortly after leaving Art School in 1928, Lowry’s father suggested he sketch the nearby soon to be demolished St Simon’s Church in Salford and indeed a few days later the building was razed to the ground. This began Lowry’s search to record other locally threatened architectural gems such as Crowther Street, which was later partially demolished leaving only the right hand portion seen in the drawing which has since been restored. "The Stepped Street" is not a preparatory sketch for an oil painting, here Lowry gives us a detailed, complete, stand-alone and fully formed work in its own right in which he enjoys including many of his signature motifs, dogs, children, prams, smoking chimneys, porches and people in all their shapes and sizes make an appearance if you look hard enough…. In addition Lowry is also indulging his love of Steps as subject matter for his work as he says himself…‘Steps and things ... I liked doing steps, steps in Ancoats ... steps in Stockport ... steps anywhere you like, simply because I like steps and the area which they were in was an industrial area. I did a lot, you see. I've never found it interesting to paint pure landscapes. I'm not interested in pure landscapes'. - L.S. Lowry ©. Jonathan Horwich, January 2023The work is stuck onto the backboard of the mount. Pin holes to each corner. Slight time staining/oxidisation to the paper, most noticeable to the sky. Very slight cockling to the paper upper right. Feint, sporadic small sized foxing spots in evidence. In particular but not contained to areas of the sky. Small brown mark to the right of the top writing on the large sign, upper left. A more pronounced foxing spot within the dark grey right edge next to the window, a scattering of tiny slightly more pronounced spots, three next to the man lower left corner, a handful within the centre of the railings on the 4th step up. See additional images. For further information please contact the Picture Department.
