Lowry: Curatorial walkthrough Lowry is Britain's preeminent painter of the industrial city. It's all about the people Sketches, letters, etc. Lowry, recipients: Geoffrey S. Bennett, Alice Bennett Sketches of heads and figures 04 April Geoffrey Eric Bennett b Autograph book containing drawings and signatures — He had begun to see the possibilities of painting what he saw on his doorstep, rather than more conventional landscapes based on the countryside nearby.
Throughout the s Lowry developed his theme of painting the industrial scene and probably produced more work in this decade than in any other. He exhibited widely with various societies, including the New English Art Club and the Society of Modern Painters, as well as in Paris, but no works were sold.
By he had produced what he described as his most characteristic mill scene — Coming from the Mill, now in the Lowry Collection, Salford. In the same year he held his first one-man exhibition in Manchester.
All the exhibits were drawings of the Ancoats area of the city and every one sold, including one to Manchester Art Gallery. In Lowry had work accepted at the Royal Academy in London but in the same year his father died suddenly. Elizabeth Lowry, whose health had always been poor, took to her bed permanently.
Not surprisingly, Lowry produced fewer works during the s. In he painted Head of a Man which began as a self-portrait but was turned into a grotesque head. In Lowry had his first solo exhibition in London at the Lefevre gallery.
To help make ends meet, Lowry left school at 16 and clerked at an accountancy firm. This is far from true: he took evening classes in painting and drawing at the Salford School of Art and Municipal College of Art, where he studied under the French Impressionist Adolphe Valette.
Lowry was never a full-time artist: in his early twenties, he took a job as a rent collector, and this would be his primary trade for the next four decades.
Lowry never adopted an Impressionist technique or colour range — he often claimed to use just five colours: vermilion, ivory black, Prussian blue, yellow ochre and flake white. What he did share with the Impressionists, however, was a fondness for capturing modern life in an urban landscape. Lowry admitted that his inspiration had come from an unlikely source: a eureka moment following a missed train at Pendlebury station. In Saturday Afternoon , a group of local children play a game of pickup football on a spot of land that — until its recent demolition by bombs — had accommodated four streets of terraced houses.
With his typical powers of observation and eye for detail, Lowry depicts balloon and whirligig sellers, children in pointed hats, dogs and prams; a slice of urban life on holiday. Lowry supported the Manchester City football team, and regularly attended home matches. It was released in the UK on 30 August They suggest a new, somewhat unsettling dimension to his relationship with women, including Elizabeth, his controlling mother, and to his view of the world in general, so often — and wrongly — viewed as cosy.
Carol was 32 when Lowry passed away; she has always guarded her privacy with care and continues to do so now. Lancashire The film has been shot entirely on location in Lancashire, and the beach at Lytham St Annes has seldom looked so expressive as in the scenes in which Lowry and mother recall earlier untroubled memories.
