This volume, with more than 400 reproductions, will be the most
comprehensive publication to date on Lucian Freud, covering a span
of seventy years and including many works not previously
reproduced. The result is a corpus of great works that reveal him
to be the premier heir today of Rembrandt, Courbet, and Cezanne.
The book includes not only Freud's paintings but also his sketches,
woodcuts, and powerful etchings. While the bulk of his paintings
are female nudes, his cityscapes, plant studies, and interiors,
executed in his distinctive muted palette and visible brushwork,
are all included. Freud, who has lived in London ever since his
family left Berlin in 1933 when he was ten, has achieved
preeminence through his ruthless perception of the human form. His
importance has long been recognized in England, but his present
super-celebrity status dates from a retrospective at the Hirshhorn
in Washington, D.C., in 1987. William Feaver, painter and for many
years art critic for The Observer, provides a unique account of
Freud's preoccupations and achievement. Startling, moving,
profoundly entertaining, the book lives up to Freud's advice to
students when getting them to paint self-portraits: "To try and
make it the most revealing, telling, and believable object.
Something really shameless, you know."
