I heard an interview with Lowry once, at the end the interviewer asked him, "Does it upset you that your paintings are so expensive that ordinary people can't afford them?" Lowry said, "Not really, they didn't want 'em when they was cheap so why should they have 'em now?"

@theofarmmanager267 8 месяцев назад

I genuinely mean - good for you. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. I do sometimes think that these “experts” favour an artist because some other expert has said that they are good - or a piece by that artist has made a lot of money. Personally, I’m not a fan. His paintings don’t speak to me positively in any way. In the same way as most abstracts, I just don’t see the merit or the skill in his pieces. Many others do and pay a lot of money for one of his pieces. That’s just personal choice

@cornbeef 8 месяцев назад

@@theofarmmanager267 I absolutely agree with you and it is very much your right to not like Lowry. I can understand why you don't like it, and I'm sure that the reasons you don't like it are probably the same reasons that I do; the simplicity, the lack of detail etc. For me, it just reminds me of my home and of a time gone by. I was born in Bury, just up the road from Salford and it stirs up feelings for me that I just adore.

@@cornbeefPeople often say about art "the simplicity" and "the lack of detail" but it's anything but simple or easy. "I could do it" - No you can't. Plenty of painters never get spoken about let alone endure like Lowery. It's as if his style literally embodied the subjects he was painting, the mundane, the ordinary but categorically - not everyone can do that. They just can't, like it or loath it, his art will endure and increase in value every year.

I live close to where LS Lowry lived in Mottram, Greater Manchester. My mum used to tell me that she met Lowry one day on the bus going to Hyde, the nearby town. At the time I was a small baby and they got talking about me. When my mum stood up to get off the bus, Lowry gave her a sixpence, an old pre-decimal coin worth 2 1/2 pence.

Wow how fascinating!!!! Right up there with “I danced with a girl, who danced with boy, who danced with a girl, who danced with the Prince of Wales”!!!!!!!! I once sat next to Duckface from “Four Weddings and A Funeral”. However that didn’t make the national newspapers either!!!!!

Several decades ago I went into a very exclusive old art gallery boutique in London sort of by accident, just being nosey. Suddenly I was approached and asked what I was interested in, rather than say I was in no financial position to buy a crayon let alone an artwork, I muttered I was really after a Lowry, quite certain they didn’t have one and I could leave gracefuly . Unfortunately he said “Oh come this way Sir, into the back, we have several.” He lead me into another room and sat at a huge desk whilst he checked some inventory and all I could think was if I asked for a specific one, chances are they wouldn’t have it. So I said “In fact I was particular about Cowles Fish and Chip Shop, it’s rather small, not well known” (which I recalled was perhaps true). I stood in silence while he went through indexes and records and when he finally said “I’m so sorry, can’t seem to help you there.” I pretended to be somewhat disappointed and exited immediately.

I used to live in Lowry's old house in Maryport, in the NW of England, when i was a lad, in the 1970's. I remember the sand on Maryport beach burnt my feet, in the summer of 76.

A wonderful clip from Antiques roadshow which I've watched as a boy since the early 70's when it was called 'Going for a song" with the late great Arthur Negus. Apart from the antiques which bring great interest to me I also love watching and listening to the people and seeing them in the background.
