Nascido em Berlim em 8 de Dezembro de 1922, Lucien Freud, neto de Sigmund Freud, foi para Inglaterra, juntamente com a sua família, em 1931, tornando-se cidadão inglês em 1939. Desde muito jovem teve uma tendência enorme para o desenho. Tornou-se artista a tempo inteiro e como profissional depois de ficar inválido num ataque a um navio da Marinha Mercante onde trabalhava. Em 1951, o seu quadro "Interior at Paddington" (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool) ganhou o primeiro prémio no festivalde Arte Britânica e, desde netão, ganhou uma reputação enorme como um dos principais pintores de arte figurativa contemporânea. Retratos e nus são a sua especialidade, vistos muitas vezes como chocantes. As suas primeiras obras eram meticulosamente pintadas. Ele próprio as classificava como "realistas ou Superrealistas. Mais tarde, adptou uma atitude mais visceral. Substituindo os pincéis de zibelina pelos de pêlo de porco, menos bons e precisos, Freud começou a esculpir com a tinta, alarganda o observação meticulosa a novos horizontes. O sua obra tem sido alvo de numerosas retrospectivas por todo o mundo. Lucien Freud nasceu em Berlim em 1922 e está naturalizado inglês.

Lucian Freud is the grandson of Sigmund Freud, the pioneer of psychoanalysis. Born in Berlin on 8 December 1922, he moved to Britain in 1933 with his parents after Hitler came to power in Germany. His father, Ernst, was an architect; his mother the daughter of a grain merchant. Freud became a British national in 1939. He started working as a full-time artist after being invalied out of the merchant navy in 1942, having served only three months.
Today his impasto portraits and nudes make many regard him as the greatest figurative painter of our time. Freud prefers to not use professional models, to rather have friends and acquaintances pose for him, someone who really wants to be there rather than someone he's paying. "I could never put anything into a picture that wasn't actually there in front of me. That would be a pointless lie, a mere bit of artfulness." In 1938/39 Freud studied at the Central School of Arts in London; from 1939 to 1942 at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Debham run by Cedric Morris; in 1942/43 at Goldsmiths' College, London (part-time). In 1946/47 he painted in Paris and Greece. Freud had work published in Horizon magazine in 1939 and 1943. In 1944 his paintings were hung at the Lefevre Gallery. In 1951 his Interior in Paddington (held at the Walker Art Gallery, in Liverpool) won an Arts Council prize at the Festival of Britain. Between 1949 and 1954 he was a visiting tutor at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. In 1948 he married Kitty Garman, daughter of the British sculptor Jacob Epstein. In 1952 he married Caroline Blackwood. Freud had a studio in Paddington, London, for 30 years before moving to one in Holland Park. His first retrospective exhibition, organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain, was held in 1974 at the Hayward Gallery in London. The one at the Tate Gallery in 2002 was a sell-out. "The painting is always done very much with [the model's] co-operation. The problem with painting a nude, of course, is that it deepens the transaction. You can scrap a painting of someone's face and it imperils the sitter's self-esteem less than scrapping a painting of the whole naked body." According to critic Robert Hughes, Freud's "basic pigment for flesh is Cremnitz white, an inordinately heavy pigment which contains twice as much lead oxide as flake white and much less oil medium that other whites." "I don't want any colour to be noticeable... I don't want it to operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent... Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid."

I'm getting more and more critic about Freud's idea of painting... the sexual rejection, his repulsion of flesh i think is more decorative than a real existencial need... his enormous skills are not for a rivelation, but for a disguise.

...belo e pertinente post como sempre ! Lucien Freud é um dos poucos artistas do sec. XX de percepção visceralmente humanista. Será por isso chocante ? Tanto ou mais do que Edvard Munch ou Egon Schiele ?
