LUCIAN FREUD DRAWING INTO PAINTING

Drawing into Painting reveals Lucian Freuds lifelong focus on the human face and form, tracing the intimate dialogue between his sketches and paintings from the 1930s to the early 21st century. Lucian Freud (19222011) is celebrated as one of the great figurative realist artists of the twentieth century, who devoted his artistic life to portraiture. Famously stating that everything is a portrait, he created intensely observed portraits of animals and plants, as well as his family members and those in his social circle and daily life.
