Brings together, for the first time, Lucian Freud's oil on copper
paintings, including his lost portrait of Francis Bacon and two
works that have never been reproduced before In the early 1950s,
Lucian Freud produced several works in oil paint on copper, a
technique favored by 17th-century artists such as Rembrandt and
Frans Hals, but unusual for a 20th-century painter. Originally
thought to be only a handful, Freud in fact painted more than a
dozen copper works-all small-scale, enamel-smooth and astonishingly
intense. Based on a decade of research, this book, for the first
time, brings together all of Freud's "coppers," including two works
that have never been reproduced before. Among these paintings is
Freud's famous portrait of Francis Bacon, labeled by Nicholas
Serota as "the most important portrait of the 20th century." The
work was stolen in 1988-its whereabouts still unknown-but during
research for the book a rare photograph was discovered that shows
the work just minutes before the theft, and it is published here
for the first time. Distributed for Less Publishing
