Exhibition
Lucian Freud Portraits - National Portrait Gallery
Presenting a much broader picture of stylistic and creative evolution over seven decades; of an artist ever-engaged, ever-rigorous, ever-investigative, during a life-time’s encounter with human flesh. 
The National portrait gallery in London presents a major new exhibition of the seminal British painter Lucian Freud, Born in 1922 was one of the most highly regarded figurative painters of the past sixty years. His images of people were central to his work and this major exhibition will be the first to focus on his portraiture.
The exhibition will be divided into broad thematic groups which concentrate on particular periods, groups of sitters and formal considerations to demonstrate Freud’s stylistic development and technical virtuosity. Insightful paintings of the artist’s lovers, friends and family, referred to by the artist as ‘people in my life’, have been selected to demonstrate the psychological drama and unrelenting observational intensity of his work.
