Lucian Freud

Naked Man, Backed View, 1991-92
oil on canvas

I met for the first time with the work of Lucian Freud at Hirshhorn. The exhibition there had a very suggestive name: Strange Bodies. I repeat here the quote from Lucian Freud: I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them, not having the look of the sitter, being them.
