Arthur Lawson (designer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Art director Arthur Lawson (1908 - 1970) had a long and fruitful association with Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, beginning in 1943 when he was floor manager on The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Three years later, when The Archers team made A Matter of Life and Death, Lawson had graduated to assistant art director. He worked with Alfred Junge on the spectacular sets for Black Narcissus in 1947, and earned an Oscar for the equally memorable set designs on The Red Shoes in 1948. Lawson’s association with Powell continued right through to Peeping Tom (1960). He received a BAFTA nomination for The Bedford Incident in 1965.
