Two Men Talking - L S Lowry Large Framed Print
Framed With Mat •
27x36 inches
Two Men Talking is a fascinating study of two figures most unusually placed on a rarely used predominantly red background. Lowry was producing figure paintings at this stage that were set in an almost abstract setting, with almost no use of shadow, most often within a plain background, as is the case with this painting. Although the title is somewhat neutral, you can see the tension building; the erect stance of the figures, with arms straightened and fists clenched, the down-turned grimacing mouth on the shorted figure as he looks in anger at the taller figure who goads him with an arrogant lazy-eyed face. |

Laurence Stephen Lowry is famous for painting scenes of life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century. L. S. Lowry developed a distinctive style of painting and is best known for his urban landscapes peopled with human figures often referred to as "matchstick men". Lowry painted mysterious un-populated landscapes, brooding portraits and the unpublished "marionette" works, which were only found after his death.
