It gives me great pleasure to open this
exhibition of the work of Christy Brown.
:10:08
A lot of people say that Christy
is a great crippled painter.
:10:13
- I think that's an insult to Christy.
- That's right.
:10:17
Christy is simply a great painter, full stop.
:10:22
He has struggled with his material,
as every painter must do,
:10:26
to bring it under control.
:10:29
If you look around the walls today,
:10:33
you'll see the forces
that shaped Christy Brown.
:10:37
His mother.
:10:40
His father. His brothers and sisters.
:10:44
And the lady who brought him
to public recognition, Dr Eileen Cole.
:10:48
Yes!
:11:05
There's only two kinds of painting:
:11:08
religious and the circus.
:11:20
You know, on each side of the mouth...
:11:45
There you are.
:11:49
And you've had enough to drink.
D'you hear me?
:11:51
I'm all right. I'm goin' for a meal, Ma.
Are you comin'?
:11:55
No, no. I'm... I'll take your father home.
He's not feeling well.
