Thames & Hudson Ltd Lucian Freud

'One of the best books ever written by one painter about another' John Russell, The New York Times 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.
