Meaning & Analysis

This print is representative of Lowry’s desire to combine a sense of urban life within a rural environment, showing groups of people from the industrial city on their day out to the country park. Lowry depicts a diverse group of people, children holding hands, families pushing prams and elderly figures in their winter coats. The artist was keen to investigate the lives of working people in their leisure time through his art, offering viewers a sympathetic vision of the working classes that was not often depicted in British art.

Lowry’s lithographs like Hillside are produced by hand whereby a plate is etched and inked, and the paper is then pressed onto the plate to produce an original. Due to this printing process, no two prints are exactly the same. Editions like these are therefore relatively small, in this case 75, and as a result they are rare and highly sought after items.

  • 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.
