BBC Television documentary which features an insight into the working practice of L. S. Lowry at his home in Mottram in Longdendale. Opens with a view of Pendlebury Railway Station and features voice over from Robert Reid, who describes a formative experience in Lowry's youth which led him to become an artist. Industrial landscapes are shown together with scenes of Lowry painting them at his easel. He explains his own unique perspective as an artist and demonstrates his approach to working on canvas. Ends with Lowry sat alone in his living room, listening to the radio and lost in thought. |
