Pictures of Matchstick Men Limited Edition Print
£195.00Pictures of Matchstick Men Limited Edition Print by PF Bennett is inspired by both the song by Status Quo (Jan ’68) and the artist’s memory of meeting L.S. Lowry. A watercolour and pencil illustration by Lymm-based artist, PF Bennett.
In Bennett’s words: “Francis Rossi allegedly wrote most of this song ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’ whilst sitting in the smallest room of his flat. It was a good move as it provided The Quo with their very first top ten hit, reaching number 8 in the January of ’68. It was the start of a very long career. However, by this time Laurence Stephen Lowry was drawing towards the close of his, but still very much painting his pictures of matchstick men.”
Bennett studied at Salford School of Art when he met Mr L. S. Lowry. Still treasuring Lowry’s autograph today, PF Bennett suggests that this meeting may have been the catalyst to his artistic inspiration.
