Lucian Freud's portraits are known for their spectacular detail and
unflinching gaze. Although Freud brought the same qualities to his
paintings and drawings of plants, flowers, and landscapes, these
are largely unknown. This elegant book shows how working with
plants emboldened Freud to experiment with style and composition.
Reproduced in sumptuous plates that allow readers to indulge in
exquisite detail, seventy-five works - including Two Plants,
Bananas, Cyclamen, The Painter's Garden, and Interior at Paddington
- reveal Freud's singular approach to plant life. Readers
unfamiliar with this aspect of Freud's work will find many
similarities to his portraits - earthy palettes, unconventional
rawness, and assiduous attention to detail. From the delicate
realism of the cyclamens' petals to the bold brushstrokes that
immortalize his overgrown garden, readers will appreciate Freud's
ability to portray plants in new and personal ways. Comparative
illustrations from throughout art history accompany essays on the
history of plants in art and an appreciation of Freud's oeuvre.
This monograph is a tremendous contribution to Freud's legacy, one
that will enrich his admirers' discernment while also introducing
his thoroughly original depictions of plants to a new audience.
