    L S Lowry is best known for painting scenes of life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century. He developed a distinctive style of painting and is best known for his urban landscapes peopled with human figures, often referred to as "matchstick men
    Lowry holds the record for rejecting British honours (five), including a knighthood (1968).

    Thank you for sharing. It was very informative. A wonderfully talented man who remained humble to the end of his life. R.I.P.

    I met him before he died. We were on a school trip to an art gallery in Salford. He was a little grumpy but I think he was in a lot of pain as he was very old and unwell. My favourite picture by him is a woman's head in a red polo neck jumper. Love Southern Cemetery. It's Manchester's Highgate! ❤

      Funnily they were actually Kevin and Micheal after the original member who was Brian left, one of them was from Urmston if my memory serves me right...
      St Winifreds school choir as the backing singers.

    The great Lowry love the pot of brushes stencils etc and by royal appointment and turned down all those honours, good video ,happy safe journeys to you

    • @MotorHomeBeepBeep
      @MotorHomeBeepBeep  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought that was the honest and funniest thing about turning down the royal appointment. He wasn't interested in other people's opinions including royalty 🤣

  • @anthonyellis987
    @anthonyellis987 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I admire a person who turns a royal honour, not that a person shouldn't have letters after their name. He was a genius with an unique art style which I love.

    I do enjoy your Cemetry visits, As some of the graves you visit seem to be very short of visitors. I have always found that simple act of leaving a small Pabel on the head stone to let the rest of the world know that person had a visitor and not forgotten.

    Some great Victorian memorials. They favoured black! Bless Lowry, one of my favourite artists. Although he was just a chap who painted.

    Sing along now..." He painted Salford smokie tops on cardboard boxes from the shops." Someone was going to type that. 😊

    love the detail you go into, make's it far more interesting, saves looking up in wiki all the time. am an artist myself so know all the details and struggles involved, stay always positive, but things seldom happen in your own lifetime. but it is doing the work in the end that gives satisfaction.

    Jeez. Just had a look on Find A Grave, if correct there are 2 Moores murder victim's there as well as Sir Matt Busby & the lead singer of the 70s band Sweet Sensation. A must visit.

      Well done David 👍 I've done Sir Matt, one of the victims which I think I'll stop at. Did the lead singer Sweet Sensation but I've never published it. But more importantly, I really really appreciate you helping me 💗 It's the thought that counts. Thank you more than you will know 😉
