Lucian Freud: A Definitive Retrospective
The Financial Times has hailed "Lucian Freud: A Definitive Retrospective" as the art book of the year. This comprehensive publication, featuring over 480 illustrations, offers a remarkable insight into the life and work of one of the greatest painters of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Lucian Freud.
Published by Phaidon, this lavish and definitive set is the result of an extraordinary collaboration between David Dawson, Director of the Lucian Freud Archive, and Freud's assistant, model, and friend for two decades, author Martin Gayford, as well as editor Mark Holborn. Their collaboration has yielded a book that delves beyond the artist's work, revealing profound insights into the man himself. Gayford describes Freud's unwavering commitment to portraying the truth in his paintings. He believed in a found beauty, one that emerged organically from his subjects rather than being imagined by the artist and imposed upon them. Freud painted with exquisite detail, capturing the beauty he observed in the world around him.
The book celebrates that beauty through a series of portraits of Freud's friends, family, lovers, neighbors, and even strangers whose looks he found appealing. From his bookmaker to a bank robber, Freud's subjects span a diverse range of individuals, each captured with meticulous attention to detail.
"Lucian Freud: A Definitive Retrospective" serves as a vital contribution to art scholarship, providing a comprehensive examination of Freud's artistic journey. At the same time, it is a stunning addition to the bookshelves of art enthusiasts worldwide. This exquisite publication showcases Freud's unparalleled talent and his profound impact on the art world.
