Meaning & Analysis

From the artist’s own account, the characters in this painting were varied and dynamic; a disabled man and the lonely but smiling boy who were always hanging around the gardens when Lowry visited, and the eccentric University lecturer in the foreground. Figures In The Park is a print that is indicative of Lowry’s fascination with people and their unique qualities or quirks, prompting the viewer to look at his more widely known paintings differently.

Lowry said of the original painting, “This painting took me two years, I just couldn't get it right. The colour of the canvas reminded me of a dirty school boy's face, so I put it in the sink and scrubbed it hard! Afterwards it seemed fine. Anyway I was satisfied with it, I really think this is the best painting I ever did of a cripple. Don't you?” This is one of Lowry’s smallest ever limited edition runs from only 100 signed copies and is therefore highly sought after.

  • Born in 1887, L. S. Lowry was a key figure in 20th century British painting. Known for his distinctive painterly style and 'matchstick men', Lowry aimed to put industry on the map by typically focusing on scenes from his hometown in the North West of England. The naivety of his art drew criticism, yet has stood the test of time with the artist becoming a household name. Lowry has consistently performed in the secondary market, with works such as Going To The Match achieving a value of £2,919,000 in 2021 and the editioned prints remaining highly sought after.
