Since his death in 2011, Lucian Freud’s reputation as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century has continued to grow with his inimitable large-scale paintings of human figures hanging in museums around the world and fetching dizzying prices at auction. Art historians note his talent, brilliance and complicated personal life, but until now, his own voice has often failed to rise above the noise. Full of verbal and visual wit, affection and irreverence, Freud’s letters now provide a revealing and at times revelatory personal look at his life and process.
This volume brings together Freud's earliest letters, compiled with the support of the Freud estate, from both private collections and public archives including the Freud Museum, the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate. From school notes to his parents to his early recognition as a professional artist, the letters, which often feature drawings and characteristic visual quirks, present the many facets of Freud's complex personality.
