Extract from BBC Onlin - Born in Gorton in 1920, William Turner was one of the artists inspired and influenced by L S Lowry, though his style is very different from that of the Salford artist.

He spent the 50s and 60s taking in exhibitions by the German Expressionists and the French Fauves in Manchester, whose colours and techniques he adapted into his own paintings.

His early work met with some acclaim and was exhibited in high-profile shows in the North - but the London critics weren't as keen, which led to him having to paint part-time, whilst also working as a teacher in Cheadle Hulme.

Despite this, he remained a prolific artist and found much support from L S Lowry, who attended every one of William's shows until his death in 1976.

Such support was invaluable for William and the friendship between the pair led to him painting the only portrait of Lowry while he was alive.
