Lowry and Gauguin both had rare individualism and strong souls that maintained them when others would have faltered based on so many difficult obstacles. After all, irrespective of the negatives aimed at Lowry by some art critics – and periods of real poverty for Gauguin and the isolation he felt after two of his children died – both individuals never succumbed to self-doubt about their artistic merits and this says much about both amazing artists.
In an earlier article I stress, “Images by Lowry can lead to confusion for people outside of a working class environment and who don’t understand the real power and energy of industrial landscapes.”
Lowry himself commented, “One day I missed a train from Pendlebury – (a place) I had ignored for seven years – and as I left the station I saw the Acme Spinning Company’s mill … The huge black framework of rows of yellow-lit windows standing up against the sad, damp charged afternoon sky. The mill was turning out… I watched this scene – which I’d looked at many times without seeing – with rapture…”
One place where Lowry and Gauguin could meet is in the area of isolation. Lowry in his art felt a deep connection with individuals who were solitary and struggled to cope with this life. Therefore, Gauguin during times of poverty and despair would have been a perfect individual for Lowry to draw. Also, given the artistic nature of both then this binding factor linked with “despair” and the feeling of “abandonment,” would have made for interesting friends if they had they shared the same time and environment.
Of course, this is wandering into the world of “if” and “unreality.” However, without imagination then where is creativity? Therefore, for the artist Gauguin “creativity” was at the drop of the hate because he could turn the “mundane” into something “dramatic.”
Gauguin sometimes entered the world of despair and isolation yet art that had created his poverty also pulled him out of despair. In this sense, Gauguin had art throughout his veins because his world was shaped and engulfed by his intensity towards art.
Individuals split people into elite international artists, national artists, regional artists and so forth. However, irrespective of this both Lowry and Gauguin were rare artistic individuals because they adored art and this shines through at all times.
