Arthur Delaney

British

(1927 - 1987)

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.
