In A Street Full of People, an archetypical group of Lowry figures gathers. It is exemplary of his fascination with individual characters that inspired one critic to describe him as an entomologist, “stalking human insects with his butterfly net... Lowry has become a collector of people.” Here, Lowry is celebrating the ordinary, creating a cast of individual figures with distinctive characteristics and a timeless appeal.
Lowry was obsessively drawn to watching people going about their daily business. Spotting a group of people ‘just standing about’ was one of his everyday joys. Indeed, as Sir Ian McKellen has so eloquently explained, “until Samuel Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot, nobody seems to have noticed that much of human life is to do with waiting, and until Lowry painted his crowds, no other artist had recorded how people (and animals) look and behave en masse. Each individual is on his/her own journey across the canvas yet leaning to form the crowd with its own collective identity. Once you have seen how Lowry saw us, you cannot ever see or be in a football crowd, nor watch kids playing, workers leaving the factory, queuing, or stopping to chat or hear the fairground barker, without saying, “Lowry! It’s just like a Lowry painting!” Going about our business or pleasure, we are all subjects of his vision.”
Lowry once remarked on works of this nature: “All those people in my pictures, they are all alone, you know. They have all got their private sorrows, their own absorptions. But they can’t contact one another. We are all of us alone – cut off. All my people are lonely. Crowds are the most lonely thing of all. Everyone is a stranger to everyone else. You have only got to look at them to see that.”
