 | Lucian Freud (British artist, born in Germany in 1922) in considered by all to be one of the most important figurative artists of today, as his style reinvented and gave new dimensions to portrait painting and especially to the nude theme. But besides being an original and influential painter, Lucien Freud has also made an impressive number of etchings, managing to master this technique like a true master, as it became a major part of his art. |
The Museum of Modern Art in New York, USA, will be hosting - starting at the end of 2007 - an exhibition of etchings produced by Lucian Freund, in whole around 75 works, ranging from the early experiments of the 1940s to the larger and much more complicated compositions of the 1980s. The exhibition is also completed by a scrupulous selection of paintings and drawings, most of them related to the etchings presented in the show.
