Apologies if already posted but LS Lowry's painting, "Going To The Match", is on display at the Grundy until the end of March. Me and wife went to see it yesterday. It's a fine painting.
It’s a great piece of art. Thanks for the tip. Any of his others on display or just that one?Apologies if already posted but LS Lowry's painting, "Going To The Match", is on display at the Grundy until the end of March. Me and wife went to see it yesterday. It's a fine painting.
Just that one. It's on a tour of the North West.It’s a great piece of art. Thanks for the tip. Any of his others on display or just that one?
And the other one called "entering the silent empty wasteland"There’s a counterfeit copy in Preston titled “Going on the match”
It’s a very inferior copy I believe
I’ll have a look onlineApologies if already posted but LS Lowry's painting, "Going To The Match", is on display at the Grundy until the end of March. Me and wife went to see it yesterday. It's a fine painting.
Like that Sooty.View attachment 18622Fans going to Burnden park. I like this style of paintings & I’ve got one in a similar ilk we commissioned the artist to do having seen it in Knaresborough in a cafe, he even included our cat into it. Can you spot her
Cheers for that. Didn't know that. Next time I'm Over Wyre I'll have a look.I love LS Lowry's work. He really manages to capture his time. Lovely little Lowry tribute statue on Knott End seafront where he used to sit to paint.
Sitting in Knott End does give more understanding of his rather less than flamboyant style…..I love LS Lowry's work. He really manages to capture his time. Lovely little Lowry tribute statue on Knott End seafront where he used to sit to paint.
Take a look on the left hand wall in the first gallery on entering. Someone's prepared a polished wooden board with a list of Blackpool FC's achievements on it.Thanks for the tip 66 You know I haven’t been in the Grundy for years and years and I don’t know why
I’m going to get in there on one of my days off next week, will enjoy that, so thanks
I used to pop in regularly when I went to the library for books for my kids & the record library, remember that? may also make the effort.Take a look on the left hand wall in the first gallery on entering. Someone's prepared a polished wooden board with a list of Blackpool FC's achievements on it.

Well spottedAssume she’s the special one on the wall
It’s a great picture and well ahead of it’s time,if you look closely you can see the similarities between the painting and Preston’s trip to SouthamptonView attachment 18623
I've got a print of this (Nevinson 'Any Wintry Afternoon in England') and the original is in Manchester art gallery. It's worth a trip to see this and the Valette paintings alone.
I love owt like that me.
I went to a Lowry exhibition at a gallery in Hyde a couple of years ago, which was very informative. Amongst other influences on his style (including Adolf Valette mentioned above) were a sense of anger at the destruction of the beautiful Lancashire countryside brought about by industry, hence the palette, and the desire not to personalise the humans in his pictures - hence the 'matchstick' like figures.Never got Lowry. They seemed like child's drawings in depressing colour tones. Just an opinion, not trying to be controversial.
Brilliant. Playing Reading.View attachment 18642
