The Meeting Point shows two separate male and female crowds flowing towards a central tall, red tower in the centre of the composition. Using his signature colour palette, Lowry painted the work in 1965, the same year he received The Freedom of the City of Salford, considered an honour of the highest order to be bestowed upon an individual by the city council. In the previous year prestigious critics and artists such as Kenneth Clark and Henry Moore dedicated appreciative, praising writings to Lowry’s practice within the framework of A Tribute to Lowry, taking place at the Monks Hall Museum in Salford. These years mark the high points of the artist’s fame, even though he had never been interested in the spotlight. In 1966, Arts Council England organised a large-scale exhibition of his works, which toured through major cities across the UK such as Sunderland, Bristol, Manchester and London’s Tate.
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.
