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 (1946), Lawson had graduated to assistant art director.
He worked with
Alfred Junge on the set decoration for
Black Narcissus (1947), and won an
Academy Award for
Best Art Direction/Set Decoration for
The Red Shoes (1948).
[1] Lawson's association with Powell continued until
Peeping Tom (1960). He received a
BAFTA nomination for
The Bedford Incident (1965).
