Sandsend Near Whitby - L S Lowry - Canvas Prints Size:Medium - 24x16 inches Watercolor painting of a giraffeIn Sandsend near Whitby we see the central themes of industry and work juxtaposed to nature and leisure. The harsh, black geometric construction of the viaduct set against the fluid pastel shapes of the sand and sea is interspersed with the loosely painted figures. In 1953 this viaduct must have seemed to Lowry a potent symbol of man's disciplined order, yet only seven years later it was to have been destroyed by man himself.
