British
(1927 - 1987)
Arthur Delaney
Arthur McEvoy Delaney was born in the All Saints District of Manchester
in 1927. His family background was theatrical, his mother being a dancer
and his father the famous comedian Frank Randle.
At the age of 13 he joined a textile studio in Manchester where he
worked for 32 years. He started to paint as a means of relaxation. There
were two great influences in his life that were to affect his
development as a painter, one was the work of LS Lowry and the other his
memories of Manchester with it’s smoke laden skies, rattling tramcars
and gas lamps.
In 1974 he had a very successful one-man show at Tib Lane Gallery in
Manchester with all his pictures selling within half an hour at the
preview. His paintings continued to sell during his lifetime and he
exhibited at the Royal Academy. Many of his works were produced as
Limited Edition Prints
Arthur Delaney’s paintings are now more popular than ever and are being
discovered by a new generation of collectors.
