FREUD/ MASTERS OF ART

This introduction to Freud's life and oeuvre opens with an illuminating essay that explores how Freud's adherence to realism and foc us on the human figure moved him in and out of the spotlight until the 1980s when renewed international interest in painting and fig uration gave his work a new significance. Reproductions of key works are presented chronologically, allowing readers to see how Freu d's brushwork, composition, and use of light evolved over the decades.
