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

The nude figure was critical to the art of Edgar Degas throughout his life, and yet his expansive body of work on this subject has been overshadowed by his celebrated portraits and dancers. Degas and the Nude is the first book in a generation to explore the artist's treatment of the nude from his early years in the 1850s and 1860s, through his triumphs in the 1880s and 1890s, all the way to his last decades, when the theme dominated his artistic production in all media. With essays by leading critics, the book aims to provide a new interpretation of Degas' evolving conception of the nude and to situate it in the subject's broader context among his peers in 19th-century France. Among the scores of reproductions is one of the most important of Degas' early paintings, Scene of War in the Middle Ages , which exerted a lifelong influence on the artist's treatment of the female nude and includes poses repeated throughout his career. Also included are monotypes of the late 1870s, which illustrate Degas' most explicitly sexual depictions of women in Parisian brothels, and pictures portraying the daily life of women wherever they resided. Together these iterations range over more than a half-century of virtuoso achievement and manifest a groundbreaking look at the evolution of this master artist.

" London, publisher: Simon Watson Taylor ; 1946, small in-4°, (28,5 cm), 48 pp, with errata-slip. The original cover is a design by Conroy Maddox. This copy contains a manuscript ex-dono (on the inside of the front cover) by the publisher (Simon Taylor), to his French translator Jean-Louis Bédouin. In this copy Simon neatly corrects two translation errors made in the George Sabrier's article on Eliot's Little Gidding poem. E.g. Blake's line : ''He who desires but does not act engenders pestilence'' becomes : '' He who desires but acts not breeds pestilence''. Fine association copy of a rare issue."
