Lucian Freud
(Author) Sebastian SmeeWitness unapologetic portraits and precision worthy of a laboratory in this exploration into the oeuvre of renowned figurative painter Lucian Freud. A master of the human form who applied the same frank style and psychological rigor to sitters as varied as the Queen, Kate Moss, and an obese and naked job center supervisor. Direct and disarming, Freud's portraiture penetrates beneath flaws and folds of the flesh to reveal what lies within.
