Voorstelling van het onderwerp Het leven en werk van Lucian Freud (1922-2011) zijn sterk vervlochten. Hij heeft de autobio- grafische basis van zijn portretkunst altijd zelf benadrukt, bijvoorbeeld in de volgende uit- spraak: My work is purely autobiographical. It is about myself and my surroundings. It is an attempt at a record. I work from the people that interest me, and that I care about and think about, in rooms that I live in and know. I use people to invent my pictures with, and I can work more freely when they are there. 2 Freud omschreef zijn hele oeuvre als portretkunst; het maakte niet uit of hij een interieur, een plant, een dier of een mens schilderde. 3 Elk levend wezen of ding had volgens hem een singu- lariteit. Toch was het met name het menselijke gezicht en lichaam waar zijn werk om draaide. Freud koos zijn modellen nooit lukraak uit, het waren de mensen die een rol in zijn leven speel- den die hij als schildersmodel aannam. Het waren vrienden, kennissen, kinderen, geliefden en familieleden. Bijna alle portretten zijn in zijn atelier, zijn persoonlijke ruimte waar hij het groot- ste gedeelte van zijn dagen doorbracht, geschilderd. Als realistische schilder beeldde Lucian Freud niets af dat hij niet effectief voor zijn ogen zag. 4 Het schilderen van een portret was een proces dat maanden duurde, met verschillende poseer- sessies per week. Door de vele uren die het model in Freuds atelier doorbracht, ging het deel uitmaken van zijn leven. Er was geen manier om dichter bij hem te staan dan model en deel te zijn van zijn creatieproces. Pas wanneer hij iemand schilderde kon hij die persoon de volledige aandacht en betrokkenheid geven. Hier raakten zijn leven en werk onlosmakelijk verbonden. Relaties kwamen door het portretteren tot stand. Tegelijkertijd zijn de portretten getuigenissen van relaties tussen de modellen en de kunstenaar. 2 John Russell, inleiding tot Lucian Freud [catalogue of an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery

  • In 1938, Aged Fifteen, Freud Enrolled at the Central School of Arts And
    In 1938, aged fifteen, Freud enrolled at the Central School of Arts and Crafts—where he engaged principally with drawing—but stayed only for a term, not taking to the school’s atmosphere. It was in the early summer of 1939, when sixteen, that he attended the East Anglian School of Drawing and Painting in Dedham, Essex, and found that he could paint. Under the guidance of the school’s principal Cedric Morris, Freud produced works including portraits, views from a window, plants and personally significant still lives. Formative influences cited by Freud include Aubrey Beardsley’s Lysistrata illustrations. After supposedly burning down the East Anglian School as a result of discarding a lit cigarette, in 1941 Freud served on the armed merchant cruiser SS Baltrover—a North Atlantic convoy travelling to Nova Scotia which was attacked from both the air and by a submarine. Initially returning to England to re-attend the East Anglian School now at Benton End, Hadleigh, Suffolk, Freud subsequently moved to Paddington in London and mounted his first one-man show at the gallery Alex Reid & Lefevre in 1944. During his years in Paddington many of his Irish working- class neighbours sat for him, in particular the brothers Charlie and Billy. Freud began to travel to Paris, and spent two months there in 1946, followed by another five months on the Greek island of Poros. He stayed there again in 1947 with Kitty Garman, the daughter of Kathlene Garman and the sculptor Jacob Epstein. Freud married Kitty the following year. During 1948 he also exhibited at the London Gallery.

  • Lucian Freud Portraits Free
    FREE LUCIAN FREUD PORTRAITS PDF Sarah Howgate,Michael Auping,John Richardson | 256 pages | 09 Feb 2012 | National Portrait Gallery Publications | 9781855144415 | English | London, United Kingdom Lucian Freud: The Self-portraits Lucian Freud, renowned for his unflinching observations of anatomy and psychology, made even the beautiful people including Kate Moss look ugly. One of the late Lucian Freud Portraits most celebrated portraitists, Freud painted only those closest to him: friends and family, wives and mistresses, and, last but not least, himself. His insightful series of self-portraits spanned over six decades. Unusual among artists with such long careers, his style remained remarkably consistent. Perhaps inevitably, the psychic intensity of his portraits, and his notoriously long sessions with sitters have been compared with the psychoanalytic practice of his famous grandfather, Sigmund Freud. Lucian Freud was born into an artistic middle-class Jewish family. His father Ernst was an architect, his mother Lucie Brasch studied art history, and his grandfather was the paradigm-shifting psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. InFreud and his family left Berlin to escape Hitler and settled in London. Typical of Freud's early period, Girl with a White Dog was created using a sable brush, which he used to apply the paint with linear precision, almost like a drawing. The subtle shading evokes a host of textures exuding softness, warmth, and the absence of immediate tension. The robe has slipped off the sitter's shoulder, exposing her right breast. Coupled with the absent Lucian Freud Portraits of the woman and the dog, the muted colors and faint contours give this composition an overall flatness.

  • 65825 NPG - Lucian Freud Portraits Guide TEXT.Indd 1 09/02/2012 09:28 Man in a Chair
    Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was one of the great realist painters of the twentieth century. Freud had a life-long preoccupation with the human face and figure. Family, friends and lovers were his subjects and, sometimes, when no-one else was available, himself. Sitters were drawn from all walks of life, from the aristocracy to the criminal underworld, but he rarely took on commissions. Freud’s portraits often record the life of a relationship. Highly personal and private, they are an enigmatic record of time spent behind the closed door of the studio. The paintings demonstrate the unrelenting observational intensity of his work. The exhibition spans seven decades and is arranged broadly chronologically, beginning with his early explorations of the portrait. ‘I work from people that interest me and that I care about, in rooms that I live in and know’ Lucian Freud 65825 NPG - Lucian Freud Portraits Guide TEXT.indd 1 09/02/2012 09:28 MAN IN A CHAIR This is a portrait of Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza. Like so many of the paintings in this exhibition, it makes reference to the traditions of historical portraiture, in this case Diego Velázquez, while remaining thoroughly contemporary. This is a private view of a powerful figure; his gaze is downward and he sits beside the painter’s discarded rags, his feet cropped from the lower edge of the composition. Freud pays attention to the cut of the suit and the fabric is rendered in as much detail as flesh. Oil on canvas, 1983–5 Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections 65825 NPG - Lucian Freud Portraits Guide TEXT.indd 2 09/02/2012 09:28 I Freud’s fi rst subjects included self-portraits, portraits of his friend, the patron and collector peter watson, and his tutor, the painter Cedric Morris.

  • British Figurative Art Since 1950
    BRITISH FIGURATIVE ART SINCE 1950 Next week we will look at one of the most famous figurative artists, David Hockney, and this week we will cover eight figurative artists more briefly. Figurative art has long been a feature of British art and the artists most often associated with figurative art since WWII are those of the ‘School of London’. This is a term invented by artist R.B. Kitaj to describe a group of London-based artists who were pursuing forms of figurative painting in the face of avant-garde abstraction in the 1970s. Last term we looked at a few figurative artists who painted between 1900 and 1950 including: • John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), an American artist who worked in Britain and became the leading portrait painter of his generation. • Walter Sickert (1860-1942), a painter’s painter and one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century. • Gwen John (1876-1939). Gwen John, was an intense and solitary artist who was described by her brother Augustus John as the better artist. • Augustus John (1878-1961) Augustus John was one of the most popular society portrait artists at the beginning of the twentieth century. • Laura Knight (1877-1970) Knight was a painter in the figurative, realist tradition who was among the most successful and popular painters in 1 Britain. In 1929 she was created a Dame, and in 1936 became the first woman elected to the Royal Academy since its foundation in 1768. • William Orpen (1878-1931) an Irish artist who worked mainly in London. William Orpen was a fine draughtsman and a popular, commercially successful, painter of portraits for the well-to-do in Edwardian society.

  • A Century of Painting Life 5
    ART HISTORY REVEALED Dr. Laurence Shafe This course is an eclectic wander through art history. It consists of twenty two-hour talks starting in September 2018 and the topics are largely taken from exhibitions held in London during 2018. The aim is not to provide a guide to the exhibition but to use it as a starting point to discuss the topics raised and to show the major art works. An exhibition often contains 100 to 200 art works but in each two-hour talk I will focus on the 20 to 30 major works and I will often add works not shown in the exhibition to illustrate a point. References and Copyright • The talks are given to a small group of people and all the proceeds, after the cost of the hall is deducted, are given to charity. • The notes are based on information found on the public websites of Wikipedia, Tate, National Gallery, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Khan Academy and the Art Story. • If a talk uses information from specific books, websites or articles these are referenced at the beginning of each talk and in the ‘References’ section of the relevant page.

  • Lucian Freud Un Article De Wikipédia, L'encyclopédie Libre
    Lucian Freud Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Lucian Freud, image composite par procsilas Lucian Michael Freud est un peintre figuratif britannique né le 8 décembre 1922 à Berlin (Allemagne). Il est le petit-fils du médecin et fondateur de la psychanalyse, Sigmund Freud. Lucian Freud est notamment célèbre pour avoir peint, en 2001, le portrait de la reine Élisabeth II à l'occasion de son jubilé, tableau qui a soulevé une polémique en Grande-Bretagne. Par son style à la fois réaliste, acéré et presque caricatural, Lucian Freud est considéré comme un des peintres figuratifs contemporains les plus importants, et un des plus exemplaires. Biographie « Toute œuvre est un portrait. » (Lucian Freud) Lucian Freud naît le 8 décembre 1922 à Berlin. Son père, l'architecte Ernst Ludwig Freud, est le plus jeune fils de Sigmund Freud. En 1934, pour échapper à l'antisémitisme nazi, Ernst Ludwig emmène sa famille à Londres. En 1938, suite à l'Anschluss, Sigmund Freud les y rejoint (les quatre sœurs de ce dernier – octogénaires – resteront à Vienne et mourront en camp de concentration). Après ses études secondaires, Lucian entre en 1938-1939 à la Central School of Arts and Crafts de Londres. De 1939 à 1941, il suit les cours de Cedric Morris à l'East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing à Dedham. Il est alors mobilisé dans la marine marchande puis démobilisé après trois mois de mer. De 1942 à 1943 il étudie à temps partiel au Goldsmith's College à Londres. En 1943, il illustre les poèmes de Nicholas Moore.
