Meaning & Analysis

Crime Lake is one of Lowry’s busy lakeside pictures, depicting a joyful crowd and many floating boats around Crime Lake, officially called Crime Bank Reservoir, which at that time was a well-known spot to visit during bank holidays between Droylsden and Failsworth. The lake came to be through a canal construction around 1794 and had been a popular destination with residents of nearby towns since. The word ‘crime’ doesn’t in fact refer to any bad incident, it is merely a local expression meaning field or meadow. This painting is from the year 1942, currently in a private collection.

Born in 1887, L. S. Lowry was a key figure in 20th century British painting. Known for his distinctive painterly style and 'matchstick men', Lowry aimed to put industry on the map by typically focusing on scenes from his hometown in the North West of England. The naivety of his art drew criticism, yet has stood the test of time with the artist becoming a household name. Lowry has consistently performed in the secondary market, with works such as Going To The Match achieving a value of £2,919,000 in 2021 and the editioned prints remaining highly sought after.

I used MyArtBroker to sell our Bridget Riley print. It was a very smooth process and I was very happy with the deal. Jasper was clear on the sale and I was kept informed every step of the way. Highly recommended!!
