Meaning & Analysis

Lowry was born in Stretford, Lancashire, in 1887, however the artist moved to Pendlebury near Manchester, a city where he drew much artistic inspiration. Lowry was fascinated with industrial landscapes and the people that inhabited and worked in them. While many of Lowry’s drawings, paintings and prints depict industrial settings that capture the monotony of working life, this print conveys the calm and tranquillity of Lytham. The artist was always drawn to the sea and sketched and painted seascapes throughout his impressive artistic career.

The print shows Lowry’s famous ‘matchstick men’ wandering around the beach. While Lowry has been criticised for the lack of individualism among these human figures, the small, simple and indistinct forms have become a signature element of the artist’s visual style.

  • 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.
