A significant publication of original writing on Lucian Freud,
including interviews with leading contemporary artists, marking the
100th anniversary of his birth Lucian Freud (1922-2011) was one of
the greatest figurative painters of the twentieth century. With an
unflinching eye and an uncompromising commitment to his work, he
created masterpieces that continue to inspire contemporary artists
to the present day. Spanning nearly 70 years, Freud's career has
often been overshadowed by his biography and celebrity. This book
re-examines his paintings through a broad series of original
approaches. Texts by a variety of rising and established
international writers explore topics ranging from the compositional
echoes of old master paintings in Freud's works, to the
contextualization of his practice within the class struggles of
1980s Britain. Throughout the book, leading contemporary painters
such as Tracey Emin and Chantal Joffe give insightful testimony to
the relevance of Freud today. Marking the 100th anniversary of
Freud's birth, this publication accompanies the first major
exhibition of his work in 10 years. Presenting fresh perspectives
on his paintings, it introduces Freud to a new generation of
scholars and enthusiasts - demonstrating his lasting international
importance. Published by National Gallery Global/Distributed by
Yale University Press Exhibition Schedule: The National Gallery,
