Title: Going to Work, 1959
Original Medium: Watercolour on paper
Description: This is an example of one of Lowry's famous crowd scenes. The colour palette is unusually light and airy, with pink and gold-tinged buildings lifting the atmosphere. Lowry said of the figures he painted, 'To say the truth, I was not thinking very much about the people... They are part of a private beauty that haunted me. I loved them and the houses in the same way: as part of a vision.'
