About this item

Previously unpublished drawings from the private sketchbooks of the pre-eminent British painter offer a new perspective on the artist's personality and artistic genius This revelatory publication features a selection of beautifully reproduced images from the sketchbooks of Lucian Freud (1922-2011) , one of the world's greatest realist painters. Most of the sketches - which include works in pencil, pastel, and watercolor from across the artist's long career - are published here for the first time. These fascinating images extend our understanding of Freud's work and demonstrate the scrutiny he brought to his subjects. The sketchbooks, now in the archive of the National Portrait Gallery, London, include portraits of Freud's family members, friends, and lovers.
