"Going To The Match"

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?

Just that one. It's on a tour of the North West.

There’s a counterfeit copy in Preston titled “Going on the match”
It’s a very inferior copy I believe

Never got Lowry. They seemed like child's drawings in depressing colour tones. Just an opinion, not trying to be controversial.

Fans 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

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.

And the other one called "entering the silent empty wasteland"

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…..

Its Burnden Park it was based on. worth about three million i think.

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.

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.

Assume she’s the special one on the wall

Well spotted
Since that photo was taken I've added our 2 white dogs, now as far as painting is concerned I'm great with tricky window frames & that type of work but art mmmmm however I practiced it a few times & managed a couple of matchstick dogs, no cat's & men required.

 

[tangerine_neil]

I can paint.
It’s always interesting to try out different styles, likes the cubist one above

 

[mad-link]

I've got loads of great Sheffield art on my walls, including a signed Pete McKee.

Had some Lowry prints a few years ago, think my Mum still has them. I love the style, the atmosphere and the scenes. My Dad was from West Gorton, and the pictures fitted the scenes in the foggy smoggy winters when we went to see my Grandad.

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 Southampton

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.

I have a copy of Lowry's Going To The Match, which was bought for me one Christmas. It is on my landing wall, so see it every day. Great little painting.

 

[Seasideforever]

I’m gonna go and take a look at it tomorrow,great chance to see a Lowry close up ,thanks for the tip

My favourite is 'A Fairground' discovered in 2007 and identified as Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It shows The Flyers and Noah's Ark, both of which I worked on.

They have one of PNE's achievements at the Harris Museum, but it's not a board, it's a splinter
