LS Lowry painting with figures 'social distancing' features in online exhibition | Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter


A painting by LS Lowry that seems apt for socially distanced times has been included in a new online art exhibition.
The picture, An Old Street, painted in 1937, features in the Art-tastic exhibition, which has begun its virtual run at St Andrews Museum in Fife.
While the artist is known for his industrial landscapes and scenes crowded with matchstick-like figures, the people in the painting keep their distance from each other.
It was originally part of the collection belonging to Kirkcaldy linen manufacturer J W Blyth, the maternal grandfather of journalist and broadcaster Michael Portillo.
The painting once belonged to Michael Portillo’s grandfather (Ian West/PA)
