Freud
The Real ThingPortraits that get under the skin A Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was interested in showing the truth. Always apart from the main artistic currents of the 20th century, the esteemed portraitist observed his models with the rigor and precision of a scientist in his laboratory. He not only captured the blemishes, bruises, and swellings of the body, but also the microscopic details beneath the flaws and folds of the flesh: the sensation, the emotion, the intelligence, the splendor, and the inevitable and unstoppable decay.Despite his rejection of parallels between himself and his famous grandfather, the correlation between Lucian Freud’s portrait painting process and Sigmund Freud’s psychotherapy sessions is a fascinating element of this figurative work. Despite the thickness of the impasto surfaces, Freud’s portraits of such disparate figures as the Queen of England, Kate Moss, and an obese job center supervisor go beyond the physical with an unmistakable and often overwhelming perception. The result is a psychological study, as well as a disturbing examination of the relationship between artist and model. This book gathers Freud’s most famous and relentless portraits, revealing an artist considered by many to be one of the greatest masters of the human form. |
