Lowry, L S - Coming from the Mill
Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
T J Clark
Modern art is always simplifying and schematising. This is what happens when Lowry schematises. But the idea that because these figures are simplified they are all the same or lack vitality is wrong. People complain about Lowry’s figures looking tired and uniform. Well, tired and uniform is what you feel after a day’s work in a mill or down a mine.’
