This volume, with more than 400 reproductions, will be the most comprehensive publication to date on Lucian Freud, covering a span of seventy years and including many works not previously reproduced. The result is a corpus of great works that reveal him to be the premier heir today of Rembrandt, Courbet, and Cézanne. The book includes not only Freud’s paintings but also his sketches, woodcuts, and powerful etchings. While the bulk of his paintings are female nudes, his cityscapes, plant studies, and interiors, executed in his distinctive muted palette and visible brushwork, are all included. Freud, who has lived in London ever since his family left Berlin in 1933 when he was ten, has achieved preeminence through his ruthless perception of the human form. His importance has long been recognized in England, but his present super-celebrity status dates from a retrospective at the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C., in 1987. William Feaver, painter and for many years art critic for
William Feaver is a painter, critic, writer, and curator. He is the author of Freud’s previous exhibition catalogue, Lucian Freud (Tate, 2002). He has curated the following exhibitions: Lucian Freud (2002 Tate and tour), Freud (2005 Museo Correr, Venice), and Freud & Auerbach (2006 V&A).
With a long career spanning several decades, Feaver has selected hundreds of Freuds' key works from every stage of his oeuvre, providing a visual feast for new admirers and old. I like, that this book shows you his first works (by the time he had 16-18 years old) where you get to see his improvement over time. the decision of using the double spread pages, instead of fold-in pages of course was cheaper but, it can be seen in many of this pages, several (and in some cases severe)diferences of colors and lines from one to another page. The slipcase is nice. There are few close ups with some details and brushwork magnified.
This book and the Odd Nerdrum's one for me are the best buys I've made on Amazon.. Clothbound covers with gilt-embossed text, highest quality paper-stock, unassailable hi-res reproductions, and a stylish cloth-ended slipcase all contribute to make this 10.25" x 12.25", 488 page monograph a must-have for any artbook enthusiast interested in the art of Lucian
