Intimate portraits from one of the most innovative figurative
artists of the twentieth century and the master of painted flesh.
Curated by the artist's longtime studio assistant and friend, David
Dawson, this important volume features twenty major and rarely seen
paintings by Lucian Freud (1922-2011). The book begins with works
from 1990, when Freud began painting the performance artist Leigh
Bowery: these large-scale portraits of Bowery ushered in a new
sense of monumentality in the artist's oeuvre. Inspired by Bowery's
impressive physique, Freud began working on a larger scale, which
emphasized the physical presence of his subjects. Despite their
grand scale, Freud's subjects are still depicted with a sense of
intimacy, penetrating honesty, and psychological depth. The naked
body is a subject that has special significance in Freud's oeuvre.
Nakedness was a way for Freud to get a more truthful portrait.
Freud's probing oils get fresh consideration in this monograph and
Dawson provides insights and stories about Freud working on these
portraits, giving an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the life
of a contemporary master of representational art.
