Description

A striking work, The Cripples is one of LS Lowry’s most talked-about paintings. This haunting composition features a procession of individuals with disabilities, many appearing deformed or exaggerated in form, moving through an ambiguous urban setting. Some viewers see it as a stark social commentary, while others interpret it as a reflection of Lowry’s own sense of isolation and struggle with depression.

Despite its unsettling nature, The Cripples is a powerful example of Lowry’s ability to capture the human condition with raw honesty. Available in two sizes, this fine art print is an evocative and thought-provoking addition for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of Lowry’s work.
