Lucian Freud

'The definitive monograph on Lucian Freud' - The FT

An intimate portrayal of one of the twentieth century’s most exceptional artists

Lucian Freud (1922-2011) was exceptional among 20th-century artists. His vigorous and innovative paintings are works of consistent richness and force, often disturbing and haunting. This book, in which Freud took a large part, is exceptional in itself: he chose, grouped and presented the large selection of paintings and drawings.

The text is by Sir Lawrence Gowing, who was a painter himself and was a long-standing friend of Freud's.
