A Cricket Match is a wonderful example of Lowry at his really best, inward what is arguably his best decade every bit an artist, the 1930s, where he fully establishes the rules in addition to parameters of his unique vision. It seems at first-glance to endure a uncomplicated ‘slice of life’ in addition to however the icon is constructed really carefully, inward both the way the narrative unfolds in addition to also inward how it releases its emotion. As ever, Lowry restricts his palette to a hit of colours therefore narrow that Mondrian would no incertitude approve: the dominant white; outlines inward black; a muddied light-green in addition to sooty bluish to pivot the piece of occupation to the Earth in addition to to plough over it its sombre timbre. It is this blue-green that also frames the picture, drawing our oculus into it, across the muddied standing H2O in addition to snaggletooth debate posts inward the foreground in addition to through to the ramshackle sheds inward the middle ground. To this Lowry adds a few dots of red, inward a scarf or a hat: some other favourite fox to push clitoris the oculus inward a zig zag through the composition, to ensure the viewer looks everywhere in addition to experiences it every bit a whole.
It is inward the 1930s that Lowry’s masterful utilization of white actually comes to the fore. It has both a painterly operate – allowing him to plough over a clarity to his figures in addition to buildings, which inward plough enhances their phenomenological solidity – every bit good every bit an emotive quality, every bit it brings a hard, brittle depression temperature to his work, whatever the season, that inward the viewer’s heed translates into an agreement of the hardship of the Earth he is painting. It has a conceptual aspect, too, every bit it is the white that makes this Lowry’s world, something that has its root inward a difficult reality only also seems to be inward of itself.Sotheby's Auction - Catalogue Note
