- My film, "L.S. Lowry" (1975), was one of the first independent films ever sold to the BBC. As a young filmmaker, who grew up in the Industrial North surrounded by Coal Mines and Cotton Mills, I was drawn to the way L.S. Lowry depicted the Northern landscape, its people and their livelihoods. Again, I created this documentary on a very small budget. Sadly, while trying to interview the artist about his work for the film, all Lowry wanted to talk about was Football! He refused to say much at all about his Art, "Either you like art or you don't! But what about Blackburn Rovers?" he said. Hemel Hempstead Band Played the Music
L S Lowry was my mum and dads rent collector in Salford, my older brother remembers hiding behind the couch in the front room with my mum to avoid him when she didn't have the rent.
Amazing mickey , how we remember as children apparently he did that job for 42 years
Wow!
The L S Lowry Painting of the Broken Shop window, My Grandad was in that painting.... He was the paper boy on the bike standing in the street.
Wow!
omg
Wow
My mum loved lowry when I see anything on him it always reminds me of her . I remember watching this with her as a child. And I now also love his work thanks to her.
I like his pictures so much!
There is something hard to describe in them...
Something warm, causing our nostalgia for something gone?
I have always loved the way Lowry captured the atmosphere of the environment in his paintings. This little film is a real find and it was touching to see Lowry at the end of his life and to 'feel' the sensitivity that made his painting so special. Thank you for uploading this insight into such a gentle and unassuming genius.
Lovely, evocative film. Thanks for sharing it here.
My Mother had a Lowry She gave 25 pounds for it at Reeds Saleroom in Preston in 1950 My Dad wasnt pleased even though it was My Mum's Money[She worked for Mr Wharton in his Realty Business]She gave it my Brother when he got Married. His Wife never liked it and they sold it. I dont know what they got for it. And my Mum never mentioned it. And everyone is dead now. Didnt seem like a Big deal back then. I got a couple of lovely paintings [Italian] She gave me. I brought them to America and have them in my Bedroom. Im 85 now . Lowry was an introverted closed down Man who was ruled by his Mother. His unhappiness shows in All his Paintings
Such a shame but a pure artist. 🖌️🎨.
A genius. Pure and simple.
often copied never equalled. the original 'manc' . Our Steve
Couldn't agree more. 🎨🖌️.
Lowry was without doubt a wonderful painter, but whoever made this video should have known that Elizabeth the Second's coronation was the 2nd of June 1953 - not 1952. It's also important to point out that Lowry, like most of us who worked and lived in an industrial environment, loved the great outdoors and the reflection of this fact is also to be found amongst his paintings. His landscapes and seascapes are well worth studying.
How wonderful to finally see and hear Mr. Lowry . Such a sad story. I love his work. He was so clever and how true when he says “ No one can teach you art “
I grew up in the North, when I was a kid in the 90s there there were still a lot of chimneys and mills around but they're disappearing fast now.
I ones sat next to L.S stature's in London it was nice and carm and the wind blowing on me and watching the people doing there own stuff so I start to do some amazing drawing a bit like L.S but everything is a lot brighter. It made me feel happy and proud of my self.
Think you feel like Lowry eh? Yes I think ‘carm’ is a word Lowry would feel. But as his descendant he’d say car’m
❤ love this guy and his art . We are smarter than we show up here ❤ but teaching is left behind. As evidence 😊
I’m supposed to be doing this for homework and taking notes🙄😒
yes summer(its mayo)
Lowry is not the Industrial artist he is the urban landscape artist after adoplhe pierre valette.
The year I was born. Seems like a hundred years ago.
Watch the fake or fortune on the man who bought three lowrys, they were all genuine
Wow!
Regarding Lowry's colours at 5:06, it should read 'ivory black, vermillion, Prussian blue...' and not 'ivory, black, vermillion...' Great documentary, especially scenes of Lowry's Manchester at the time of his death in 1976
I'm sure he once walked down our street, cause he painted kids who had now't on their feet
that were our street I reckon
He painted matchstick men and cats and dogs
Genius
Thanks, I enjoyed it.
Intriguing, am humbled.
He also used Zinc and Titanium White early in his career.
Wow!!!!
His urban scenes look so bleak and depressing. I know he is beloved in the UK, but I'm the outside man looking in. Maybe someday his pictures will resonate with me.
Cause UK is quite depressing especially in Salford, mate.
Buety is in the eye of the beholder as they say .to a lot of us in the north of uk these buildings don’t exist anymore so even if they are ugly in nice to see a world that does not exist now.
Masteriece
Why the brass band , Lowry heated them
what for, had he run out of coal..? ;)
Why were they cold?🤣
😂
Bloody brass band
Nailed it.
I want to buy the "Aww, what a sweet old working class man" routine but I can't get out of my head that he was a debt collector by trade 🤮
He was much more of a middle class bloke. Also it was just a job mate.
@@FozzyOverload Ah ok, he "voz just followink orderz". Got it 👍
@@GroundhogRoy what do you do for a living then?
@@FozzyOverload I'm a hitman for the Mob. It's just a job, mate.
@@GroundhogRoy lmao so ridiculous
Pete Poselthwaite would made better Lowry and real Lancs local. Sadly he passed.
Christopher Eccleston would have been my choice.
*would have made
Blinking brass bands ,Lowry dident like them either
The note at the end is so pointless and distasteful. Worth millions,ah yes,the vulgarity of “knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing “ as Glenda Jackson once spoke.
A terrible film . Poor old Lowry having to put up with that mother . To much vanessa redgrave and not enough art.
Not a good film at all. It is contrived, slow, and in truth quite boring. There is virtually no narrative development, and it consists of endless repetitions of the same scenario, slow motion and sotto voce. It breaks all the rules of storytelling -- they might have got away with it if it had been infused with some drama or some sense of impending gloom, but sadly the script was so poor and so overloaded with cliches that I think Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall tried their best but were actually bored out of their minds....... The story could have been told much more effectively in ten minutes flat. Two stars at the most......
Still, I suppose it captured the relationship between mother and son, how much he wanted to please her ( not appreciated by her) and how frustrated she was with here lowly status. It could have been a better film I agree but it has its merits I think.
Not knowing much about Lowry before watching it, it inspired me to find out more about the man and his art. So there is that at least. It’s what brings me here to this video. And the next time I’m in Salford I’ll definitely pay a visit to the Lowry.
It is an appalling film. To much time devoted to Vanessa Redgrave laying in bed. But the film does get across what an A grade , self indulgent & psychologically abusive bitch his mother was. Why do they make films like this ?
I enjoyed it very much. It showed enough
What did you expect it was shown on the bbc in 1975 I’m surprised they made this at all
