British artist L. S. Lowry lived with his overbearing mother, Elizabeth, until her death in 1939. "We also need to create a garden around the statue and plan to build a wall on which will be a frieze of the houses in the background of the picture of Lowry. 117 Station Road, Pendlebury, is where LS Lowry lived for 40 years, with his mother, Elizabeth. A totally original artistic eye.”, Noble was not trying to make a film that was historically accurate, but rather a work of fiction based on real lives, telling deeper truths.

And what absorbed him, Howard shows, 'was an attempt to control that thing which he so feared: the mass of other people, particularly women; life itself'. His father, Robert, was a clerk and his mother, Elizabeth, was a musician who aspired to become a concert pianist. "Now we want to use the picture of him standing up as inspiration for the sculpture for Steve's garden. This idealised Ann, however, it seems, never really existed. Lowry once describe… So I changed the script so I could feature them. Later she expressed envy of her sister Mary, who had … In 1951, he confessed to a psychiatrist friend how he would stare for hours at 'empty houses with empty windows standing in isolation on derelict streets...' seeing in those desolate buildings an image of himself, 'yearning to recapture forgotten days of childhood happiness'. And she categorically disapproves of his attempts at painting. aving already played JMW Turner in Mike Leigh’s. The work returns to an image of a dark-haired woman with blackened eyes in fetishistic costume. She looked around – she looked next door, indeed – and she saw aspiration, achievement, wealth, that she could not touch.”. Lowry (Timothy Spall) lived all his life with his over-bearing mother Elizabeth (Vanessa Redgrave). A large and clumsy boy, Lowry always saw himself as a misfit. I think it’s a vindication of his life and work that The Lowry exists. She called him 'Uncle Laurie' and she never had any reason to think of him other than with respect and love. Elizabeth sees little point; she's immune to the vivid charms of his factory and street scenes, and only pays attention when a neighbour shows interest in his work. He also, famously, painted the Acme Mill, recalling this as a sort of vision: "One day I missed a train from Pendlebury – a place I had ignored for seven years – and as I left the station I saw the Acme Spinning Company’s mill. As well as the paintings of Salford's most famous son, it will house two theatres, an interactive gallery and a series of restaurants and bars. Lowry is introduced on the cusp of success. “All that melts away when you go to Manchester, to The Lowry,” Noble told me. It’s a testament to his reputation.”.

For a short while he moved to a rented house on nearby Chorley Road, Swinton. He seemed haunted by her and drew versions of her over and over (an image not dissimilar to Dante Gabriel Rossetti's portraits of Jane Morris which Lowry collected: 'I don't like his women at all,' said Lowry, 'but they fascinate me, like a snake'). 117 Station Road, Pendlebury, is where LS Lowry lived for 40 years , with his mother, Elizabeth. Later, on reflection, she felt that the pictures were more the darker side of that image of Ann for whom she had been apparently just the latest in a series of models. But it was in that five-bedroom rented property that the artist produced masterpieces. In his lifetime, Lowry was happy to play the uncultured amateur for the London papers as a form of self-protection. I have lived in Swinton for 60 years and in all that time nothing has been done for Lowry locally.". Steve now lives in the house with his wife, Abigail, and four children. Actor Timothy … I have had a bronze replacement made but I am a bit wary of putting it up as that might get taken too - we will have to bolt it in place.". It was a difficult birth, and his mother Elizabeth, who hoped for a girl, was uncomfortable even looking at him at first. "We are not sure where the picture was taken and would be interested to know. What struck Howard most, when he saw these pictures, he says, was how finished these were, some signed and dated, as if Lowry wanted to incorporate them in the main body of his work. 'I wanted to paint myself into what absorbed me,' Lowry was fond of saying. But clearly his work was coming to a boil round about that time, and death very often creates a freedom for people.”.
