Modern Life: The LS Lowry Collection and Quentin Blake and Me

 

In this vibrant and lively family exhibition, Lowry will be celebrating the work of one of the most popular and successful writers and illustrators of children’s books, Quentin Blake.  

 

Known for his distinctive and whimsical style, Blake has written or illustrated over 500 books, including working with famous authors like Roald Dahl, David Walliams, and Michael Morpurgo. His illustrations have vividly brought to life some of the most beloved characters in children’s fiction, from The BFG to Mr. Stink, captivating the imaginations of readers young and old.   

 

This exhibition will be a delightful experience for all, featuring a vast collection of Blake’s work, fun interactives, games to play, and plenty of opportunities for young visitors and their families to write and draw their own stories. It's a fantastic chance to immerse yourself in the magical world of Quentin Blake and enjoy a fun-filled outing for the whole family!  

 

 

LS Lowry created around 1,000 paintings and over 8,000 drawings in his lifetime. You can see many of his most iconic pictures in our Galleries, as well as other pieces we’ve borrowed from lenders.
