Fine Art Print: The Funeral Party (1953)

LS Lowry’s The Funeral Party is a poignant and thought-provoking composition that captures both the communal and isolating aspects of the human experience. The mourners, depicted in Lowry’s signature style, stand together yet appear emotionally disconnected, each absorbed in their own world. The artist’s sharp observational skills are evident in the small yet telling details—most notably, the man in the red tie, whom Lowry explained was being ostracised for his inappropriate choice of attire.

Available in two sizes, this fine art print is a striking example of Lowry’s ability to portray the subtleties of social interaction, making it a compelling addition to any collection.
