Meaning & Analysis

Though this scene is inspired by the artist’s real-life observations of working class lives in industrial towns, Industrial Panorama shows a general impression of the urban environment created from memory. As an example of Lowry’s late style, this print is particularly dream-like with his depiction of rolling hills and industrial buildings seemingly growing out of the landscape. There seems to be no distinction between the natural and the industrial in this scene, notably as we see smoke from the mills fade into the sky and clouds, and the way in which landscape and buildings are rendered as though merging into one another.

Lowry shows the landscape to overwhelm the tiny people that populate the street, unlike many earlier prints that show his figures in the foreground of the image. The viewer feels a familiar sense of hopelessness, what art historian John Rothenstein calls ‘a kind of gloomy lyricism’, as Lowry shows the working classes to be subject to the environment that they were born into.

  • 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.
