Unseen Lowry painting

[Deleted member 77198]

Wasn't from Salford? - Probably a rag.

He was from Salford but did go to City games and did a few paintings at Maine Road.

This is from City v SheffUtd

Yeah it was Easter 1983 when I went. Waltzers kept playing Blue Monday over and over. First time I'd ever heard it.

Presumably the first time and the second time and the third time and the fourth time and the fifth time and the sixth time and the seventh time (how long did you stay as I can edit this post and add some more ?)

1938. Won 3-2. Second division fixture, the year after we won the league. The only time the champions have been relegated.

Typical City was alive even then.

Is that Dave Wallace selling King of the Kippax ?

Fair enough, what about that Tiki Taka bloke posting about loving cr07 in the nunez thread?

He (or his mother) lived on Station Road Swinton I think, just opposite where the Willows was and where Matalan is now. I like Lowry's work but if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

not sure Laurie would approve of that remark....there was a lot more to his work than the matchstick pictures

The girls were wearing High Def make up back then too!

I met him very briefly. On Friday afternoons I'd often break my crosstown journey home from school in town & go to my dad's office, which was then on Lloyd St. I'd do some homework then get a lift home

He'd often take me to the Kardomah on the corner of Albert Square for a pot of tea. My mum had a cafe in the Corn Exchange (a young Mike Summerbee & his pal George Best were regulars) & my dad was very into local artists like Harold Riley and used to showcase some up and coming artists' works on the walls of the cafe.

We were in the Kardomah one Friday afternoon and my dad quietly pointed out a white-haired man sat opposite, saying "That man's called LS Lowry & he's a well known artist". He had a brief word with him as we went out but the name meant nothing to me of course.

(Awaits GDM).

That’s not bad, but I prefer the one you told about when you met Rembrandt.
