"To mark the centenary of Lucian Freud's birth, this book seeks to broaden our understanding of the artist and his working method through a variety of original essays and interviews with contemporary painters. Featuring artworks spanning Freud's entire 70-year career, New Perspectives offers fresh approaches to one of the 20th century's most renowned artists."
Lucian Freud: New Perspectives is published to coincide with the exhibition jointly organized by the National Gallery in London and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid, marking the centenary of Lucian Freud's birth in 1922. When he died in 2011 at the age of 88, Freud had been a powerful, incisive, and sometimes controversial presence on the international art scene for more than six decades. Born in Berlin, Freud was the son of an architect and a mother who had studied philology and art history; his grandfather was Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. In 1933, when Hitler came to power in Germany, Lucian Freud's family moved to London, and his career as a painter unfolded in England. Once he had chosen his path as an artist, his commitment to painting and figuration was unwavering. This is the first retrospective of Freud's paintings to be shown in two historical art museums, and it situates the artist both physically and conceptually within a narrative of painting and the representation of the human form that has evolved over the centuries. Freud's place within that history and his contribution to it are undoubtedly significant.
