On This Day 1957 📺 'L.S. Lowry' English painter L.S Lowry🎨 is the subject of a grimly beautiful BBC documentary film, in which the famous Lancashire artist is captured at work on a new painting in his studio and speaks informally about his life as the film camera explores his subjects and pictures. On his death in February 1976, aged 88, Lowry left behind a legacy of art with great historical, social and cultural resonance. | Bernie Briffa
