Infos

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLEROne of the crowd and yet one of a kind. The astonishing story of 'The Secret Lowry'.Joe Tucker's Uncle Eric was a beloved yet unconventional figure throughout his life. A shambolically dressed man who lived with his mother for almost eighty years, he appeared to exist only for daily trips to the bookie - and yet had also quietly amassed over five hundred of his own remarkable paintings without anyone ever realising his achievements. In this touching, funny and thoughtful investigation into the nature of expression, the ownership of art and the secret life of those nearest to us, Joe Tucker brings us into his uncle's world - and brings Eric Tucker's life's work into ours.

Autor
