James Lawrence Isherwood

James Lawrence Isherwood

James Lawrence Isherwood was an English artist, born in Wigan in 1917, died in 1988.

Isherwood was a prolific impressionist/expressionist painter.

He is known for his Wigan Style and Wigan figure paintings. These together with his London scenes, Wigan street scenes, and thick figures are his most sought after works.

Isherwood was a friend of the artist L.S. Lowry, who purchased his 'Woman with Black Cat' and displayed it at his home.

Other known collectors include Prince Charles, who bought one of Isherwood's seascapes from a sale held at Cambridge University.

A BBC documentary, 'I am Isherwood' was made in 1974 about the artist and his work.
