Trip to Liverpool walker art gallery

On visit to Liverpool, we visited walker Art Gallery . At walker art gallery I admired the excellent photography by Paul Trevor exhibiting some deprived areas of Liverpool.
 I particular i liked this work called 'Bathers, Dieppe', by Walter Richard Sickert, 1902.
Wide horizontal waves rush towards paddlers in a sea that fills the whole canvas.

Lawrence Stephen Lowry is popular for his 'matchstick men and women', paintings of people in the industrial towns of England. I foind this particular work intresting because i show it photocopied version in one of the friends housemaid was pleased when came across the same painting at walker gallery. It is called 'The Fever Van' by L S Lowry in 1935
 Painting with a strong line of perspective created by stylised people, houses and shops. A central road, running towards a gathering of men and women, is overlooked by a church and an industrial chimney.
 The photography by Paul Trevor recalls the deprived areas of Liverpool of 1970
