Arthur Lawson (designer)

Arthur Lawson (1908–1970) was a British art director. He had a long association with film directors 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 Powell and Pressburger, also known as The Archers, made "A Matter of Life and Death", Lawson had graduated to assistant art director. He worked with Alfred Junge on the sets for "Black Narcissus" in 1947, and earned an Oscar for the 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.
