About this Episode
Lucy and Alice discuss LS Lowry's painting "The Cripples," which features matchstick figures in an industrial northern English town. Lucy describes the painting, noting 30-35 human figures, including a child in a rudimentary cart-like object. They explore the painting's potential political statement, Lowry's possible Asperger's, and the controversy surrounding the term "cripple." Alice shares her personal comfort with the term and its historical context. They emphasize the importance of art in representing diverse experiences and invite listeners to share their perspectives on the painting.
