‎Lucian Michael Freud ( 8 December 1922 - 20 July 2011) was a British painter and draughtsman, specialising in figurative art, and is known as one of the foremost 20th-century English portraitists. He was born in Berlin, the son of Jewish architect Ernst L. Freud and the grandson of Sigmund Freud. Freud got his first name "Lucian" from his mother in memory of the ancient writer Lucian of Samosata. His family moved to England in 1933 to escape the rise of Nazism. From 1942 to 1943 he attended Goldsmiths College, London. He served at sea with the British Merchant Navy during the Second World War. His early career as a painter was influenced by surrealism, but by the early 1950s his often stark and alienated paintings tended towards realism. Freud was an intensely private and guarded man, and his paintings, completed over a 60-year career, are mostly of friends and family. They are generally sombre and thickly impastoed, often set in unsettling interiors and urban landscapes. The works are noted for their psychological penetration and often discomforting examination of the relationship between artist and model. Freud worked from life studies, and was known for asking for extended and punishing sittings from his models‎

‎LUCIAN FREUD. THE PAINTER'S ETCHINGS,‎

‎New York, Museum of Modern Art, 2007 Bound, full blue cloth, illustrated dustjacket, 225 x 310mm., 144pp., profoundly illustrated in colour and b/w. ISBN 9780870707063.‎

‎One of the foremost figurative artists working today, Lucian Freud has redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. Although he is best known as a painter, etching is integral to his practice. Lucian Freud: The Painter's Etchings accompanies an exhibition that will present the full scope of Freud's etchings, including some 75 works, from the rare early experiments in the 1940s to the increasingly complex compositions he has created since rediscovering the medium in the early1980s. The catalogue will also include a selection of paintings and drawings, illluminating the crucial, cross-pollinating relationship between Freud's etchings and his paintings. New book.‎

‎Lucian Freud. Les autoportraits.‎

‎<p>Premier ouvrage consacré aux autoportraits de Lucian Freud, ce livre offre une vision pénétrante de l’esprit de cet artiste énigmatique et extrêmement secret. Ces tableaux, dessins, carnets de croquis et lettres intimes constituent pour celui qui les regarde un rappel constant de sa présence écrasante, même quand celle-ci se résume à une ombre ou à un reflet. Plusieurs auteurs, dont certains le côtoyèrent, resituent Lucian Freud dans l’histoire de l’autoportrait et se penchent sur la place qu’occupent les autoportraits au sein de son oeuvre. Leurs textes nous éclairent sur le style changeant du peintre, qui scrutait son corps avec autant d’intensité qu’il en accordait à ses modèles. David Dawson est peintre et photographe et fut l’assistant d’atelier de Lucian Freud. Joseph Leo Koerner est professeur à l’université de Harvard (Victor S. Thomas Professor of History of Art and Architecture) et Senior Fellow de la Society of Fellows en cette même université. Jasper Sharp est conservateur adjoint pour l’art moderne et contemporain au Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne. Sebastian Smee est critique d’art, lauréat du Prix Pulitzer. </p> Bruxelles, 2019 Fonds Mercator 150 p., relié. 23,5 x 28,5‎
