Arthur Delaney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Delaney (b. 1927 Rusholme, Manchester - 1987) was an English painter whose scenes of Manchester life were influenced by those of L.S. Lowry, gaining some popularity since his death.

Born in the centre of Manchester to dancer Genevieve Willis (also known as Delaney), he is alleged to be the illegitimate son of comedian Frank Randle. He started work in the textile industry aged 13 and took up painting later in life as a hobby. A 1974 exhibition at the Tib Lane Gallery launched his career as a professional artist with subsequent exhibits at the Royal Academy.
