Two painters,two doors....

L.S.Lowry and Beryl Cook are two artists the establishment has trouble accepting as artists, but the general public adore them.The Tate's Lowry exhibition has the largest ticket advance sales ever in its history, and Beryl Cook is more well known than most other British 20th Century artists.She is on postcards, posters, greetings cards. See their visions and their humour, their compassion. They are the artists we should all be applauding.

Yes.

Lowry painted this in 1955,an unusual composition for him. He called it "Vase of Flowers". I call it "Two Doors"! Ha!

Beryl Cook's view of Central park, New York.

                                          Her sense of humour in this reverse role flasher! Beryl Cook loves painting the texture of fur.
