Reviews
Seldom has a painter indulged in such relentlessly fierce, pitiless, lonely self-appraisal. And yet he could not stop himself. He had to plunge deep into the well of himself, no matter how dark the outcome., In the end, it is the painting that mattered most. 'I dont want to retire,' he once said. 'I want to paint myself to death.' And that's more or less what he did: It wasnt until two weeks before his death that he finally laid his brush to rest., This book presents German painter Lucian Freud's stunning but lesser-known self portraits. These canvases display the artist's flesh in somber, provocative ways., [Lucian Freud's] portraits will capture the evolution of an artist as he moved from the exactitude of a youthful style towards an ever freer, looser and more overtly painterly technique. They will show us a human being who, through long self-contemplation, captures the frank truth about flesh as it ages., Lucian Freud: The Self-portraits...is unprecedented: a celebration, and an enigma--of time, change, the leitmorifs of a life distilled on canvas., Freud on Freud, no filter. [...] As he painted life, he also was painting its inevitable slippage, its wither and fade. His blunt devotion to the world in front of him, as it was, made mortality his real subject, something "The Self Portraits" rings clear as a bell. As he painted life, he also painted death., Hell isn't only other people. One must include oneself and one's body in this comedy of errors and terrors and that's what Freud does., ...Stretches the definition of 'self-portrait' while revealing that the painter was as unsparing with himself as with his other subjects. [...] In Freud's visceral self-portraits it's a troubled landscape indeed., Freud painted a human truth that no one wants to confront, and that's why his ugliness is so goddamn beautiful., Freud Liked to Take a Long, Hard Look at Himself--And more Often than Not, the Results Are Stunning., Freud's self-portraits...are all sorts of things: tender, witty, experimental and - yes, that dread word - visceral. To walk around this show is to be powerfully aware both of his intense single-mindedness - the sheer quality of his concentration - and of his abiding fascination with the idea of the shifting, slippery self; the experience is a little like being watched. But if some red thread does link them, it is surely this inescapable menace., Captures [Freud's] most visceral essence, as his self-portraits were amongst the most emotional pieces ever painted.
