This picture is one of his more dynamic works capturing various instances of movement, as well as an account of his fascination with crowd dynamics and the individual behaviour within a collective. In this instance there is a fight unfolding between a group of men with various passers-by watching and turning their heads in shock. He uses the colour red to highlight a few details in the painting, such as a figure’s hat or clothing.
The original Industrial Scene, about the same size as this print, has been displayed at the Norwich Castle Museum since its acquisition in 1971. In this same collection there are also many brilliant Landscape With Farm Buildings works from the 1950s. The acquisition of these pieces was facilitated by the Norfolk Contemporary Art Society, co-founded by David Carr, who was also its first president and a dear friend and collector of Lowry’s.
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.
