What a wonderful representation of Lowry's life with his mother.
Timothy Small as Lowry and Vanessa Redgrave as his mother were fantastic.
So authentic like the artist.
How does anyone survive lack of understanding or interest and so many put downs, art critics telling you you paint like a kid, and someone you love being embarrassed by you and your 'hobby' .
And yet he still carries on, not because he thinks he is something special: 'I am just a man, who paints', but almost like he has to. And he stays true to himself.
