Meaning & Analysis

The print is rendered in Lowry’s characteristic simple visual style. Lowry uses a restricted colour palette, privileging white, black, yellow, blue and red to present this industrial northern scene in a realistic way. Muted and understated colours are used frequently in Lowry’s paintings, along with his signature ‘matchstick men', human figures which lack detail and distinguishing features. Although Lowry has been criticised for the lack of individualism amongst these figures, they have become iconic elements of his artistic style.

The setting of The Arrest is inspired by Lowry’s experience living in Pendlebury near Manchester where he lived and worked for over 40 years. Lowry was fascinated by industrial landscapes and the people who inhabit and work in them. His art often depicts industrial scenes and cityscapes, with an emphasis on capturing urban life in the north west of England.
