Meaning & Analysis

The Lonely House is one of Lowry’s less populated, more serene pictures, where his subject matter gravitates away from the usual busy urban scenery towards quieter landscapes. It was based on a previous drawing, House on Botany, Clifton from 1926, which is now with the City of Salford Art Gallery. It carries the signature bleak and somewhat sombre atmosphere dominating most Lowry pieces – the rusty red, lonesome house stands against a white sky in a deserted countryside landscape, a row of trees fading into the background and a broken wooden fence. Three figures, one with striking red clothing, are the only traces of a human presence on the image. A related anecdote is when Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw, Mayor of Manchester between 1975 – 76, who met Lowry in 1967 at dinner told him she had purchased this painting. The artist then drew a small sketch of the work on her napkin.

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.
