It’s the first-ever solo exhibition of the artist’s work outside the UK. Lowry is one of Britain’s most famous artists, and was a close observer of his country’s social life in the era of industrialization and modernization. His works mainly depict (描绘) ordinary people on streets, in factories, parks and football fields. It has been said that the depiction of modern life by Lowry’s works was permeated (洋溢) with an atmosphere of sadness and loneliness, but also with respect and a sense of humor.

【推荐2】Air Travel Guidelines for Children
We’re here to help you prepare to fly with your children. Here’s how it works.
Booking a child’s ticket
You’ll need to buy a separate ticket if:
· You book an international flight.
· Your child is 2 years old or older at takeoff.
· Your child is a baby sitting in his or her own seat.
In some cases, children can fly for free. If everything below is true, you won’t need to buy your child a separate ticket:
· You book a domestic(国内) flight.
· Your child is a baby(less than 2 years old), at takeoff.
· Your baby sits on the legs of a traveler over the age of 12.
· No more than 1 baby is seated on the legs of a traveler.
Now for the rules, each traveler over the age of 12 may accompany(陪伴) up to 2 babies, each seated in their own seat.
Documents a child will need
The airlines determine what documents you’ll need to travel. In short, if you’re flying domestically, each child might need a photo ID. If you’re flying internationally, each child will need a passport. Additionally, children under 18 traveling to Mexico need to provide proved documentation and letters of permission. For more information, please visit the US Embassy(大使馆) website.
Unaccompanied children on flights
· Some airlines may charge a fee for unaccompanied child service.
· Children under 5 and over 17 might be unfit for unaccompanied child service.
· Both the adult dropping the child off at the airport and the adult picking the child up are required to show identification.
Contact your airline to ask about more information.

【推荐1】Land Art (地景艺术), sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes (实景) to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land Art , which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example , in 1970 Robert Smithson, a great creative artist, created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt,which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to gradually form,change,and eventually decay (衰落). That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.
