Alan Lowndes (1921–1978) was a British painter known primarily for his scenes of northern life. He also spent time in St Ives, and he was a close friend of many of the St Ives School artists. Lowndes was born in Heaton Norris, Lancashire,〔Heaton Norris (Stockport) is north of the River Mersey and therefore in Lancashire prior to 1 April 1974〕 a suburb of Stockport in 1921, the fifth child of a railway clerk. He left school at 14, and was apprenticed to a decorator. In World War II he saw active service in the Middle East and Italy. After the war he studied painting at night school, but was largely self-taught. He began to achieve success in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the period when northern writers such as Stan Barstow, John Braine and Alan Sillitoe were also coming to the fore. He had one man exhibitions in Manchester, London and New York and is represented in many public collections. Although often compared to L. S. Lowry, he is considered by Terry Frost to be a greater painter.〔(Alan Lowndes by Jonathan Riley )〕 Alan Lowndes died in Gloucestershire in 1978. ==See also==
