À propos de cet audio
Renowned artist Lucian Freud (1922-2011) was commemorated in an exhibition of 50 portraits spanning his working life, held at The National Portrait Gallery London from February to May 2012. The review explored the development of his art from the potent and hypersensed 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, drawn from an intimate engagement with the sitter. Freud's unsparing eye maps his subjects, sustaining single-handedly an almost unique commitment to the ambitions of high art, grounded in the canons of classic Western tradition. The audiobook also includes a review of Freud's figure drawings exhibited at Blain|Southern Gallery.
