About Children Playing, Old Road, Failsworth Laurence Stephen Lowry RA
An abiding memory of Lowry is of sitting in Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens on an early-summer evening and watching the world go by. This was in 1966, and I had written to ask him if he might be prepared to let me drive him around the Manchester area to show me some of the places he had most loved to draw and paint. I was planning an extensive feature on him for one of the Sunday newspapers for which I was then the art critic, to coincide with the artist's forthcoming retrospective in London at the Tate Gallery. Lowry seemed tickled by the idea of being chauffered by a journalist with a tape-recorder, and he wrote back saying he much looked forward to it, warning me that there was nowhere to stay in Mottram where he lived; 'a dreadful place, and I spend a lot of time wondering why I ever came to live in it.' I duly picked him up from Mottram, and he was, as ever, delightful company. It was towards the end of the first day that we abandoned the car and sat in the centre of Manchester in the evening sun, and began people-watching.About the Framed Prints
