Artist Biography
Lowry Lewis (1850-1913) was a painter of sea pieces and a native of Guernsey, Channel Islands born William John Lowry Lewis. Lewis spent long periods of time in Cornwall and Devon painting coastal scenes. He was a founder member of the Bristol Savages in 1904 and to commemorate the occasion of the first Savage Dinner, he painted 'Come Pick a Bone' which is today often reproduced in poster form. He was allegedly an elected member of the RWA, however the Academy’s on-line archives make no mention of his membership, nor does ‘The Dictionary of British Artists 1880-1940’ show Lewis as ever having exhibited there! He died and is buried in Bristol.
