Sinopsis

áRenowned artist Lucian Freud (1922-2011) is commemorated in anááááexhibition of portraits and figure studies, spanning sevenádecades his working life, held at the National Portrait Gallery London fromáááFebruary to May 2012. áThe monograph explores the development of his art from acutelyááááobserved studies of the 1940s to major paintings in the later phase, where the artist engaged in a complex and sometimes brutal meditation on the human being,ádrawn from an intimate engagement with the sitter. áFreudâÇÖs unsparing eye maps his subjects, sustaining single handed anáalmost unique commitmnt to the ambitions of high art, grounded inááááááááááclassical canons of Western tradition. The study includes a review byáááMarina Vaizey of FreudâÇÖs drawings, prints and oil studies, exhibited at Blain|Southern Gallery, Hay Hill.Marina Vaizey is an art critic, lecturer and traveller, her books include The Artist as Photographer, 100 Masterpieces of Art, GreatáWomen Collectors.
