Description
First published in 2007, this is the singular volume of the great painter's work. This reformatted definitive volume is now published in a smaller and more accessible size.
It 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 presented. The corpus of great works reveals Freud to be the premier heir today of Rembrandt, Courbet, and Cezanne.
Freud's importance has long been recognised in England, but his present super-celebrity status dates from a retrospective at the Hirshhorn in Washington, DC, in 1987. William Feaver, painter and for many years art critic for The Observer, provides a unique account of Freud's preoccupations and achievement.
This new edition includes Freud's last unfinished portrait of David Dawson, the painter who worked with Freud for twenty-five years.
