English Artist who paints/draws(?) Factories?

Question

Hi!

Does anybody know the name, or some work of an english artist, who works in dark colour. And whose work is of streets, factories etc.

Sorry there isn't much detail...

Thanks!

Answer 1

Could it be L.S. Lowry?

He is famous for his paintings of the Industrial North, factories and street scenes and urban landscapes...and of course his "matchstick" style figures.

Much of his works were in muted greys, browns and blues , i dont know is this is the dark you refer to?

;-)

Answer 2

Found your question on a thread for watercolors.  Is it Joseph Turner, the English artist who brought acclaim to watercolors?
