Meaning & Analysis

Burford Church is one of Lowry’s more simplistic scenes, showing a more or less true to life rendering of a single street. The scene is made up of a very limited colour palette and the buildings are outlined in with black producing a more abstracted style. Lowry often claimed to use just five colours in his paintings, vermillion, ivory black, Prussian blue, yellow ochre and flake white.

There are no shadows cast from Lowry’s highly stylised figures in this print and along with the artist’s use of white paint for the ground and sky, this gives the impression that there is no sunlight in this scene. The artist once said of this, “You never see the sun in my work…because I can’t paint shadows. I kept trying for years.”

  • 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.
