	Brain-Juice \| Biography of Lucian Freud
		With Lucian Freud, however, we have one of the greatest painters of all time alive and well, living, in a sense, a dual existence.
		Lucian Freud was born in Berlin on December 8, 1922.
		Freud’s depiction of the realistic male seems to suggest a need for the viewer to witness the contemporary, modern, working persona in his own space, reclined on a bed, or on one of Freud's many sofas.

	Lucian Freud- After Cezanne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lucian Freud’s After Cézanne is a paraphrase or variation on the theme of Paul Cézanne’s Afternoon in Naples.
		Freud’s painting is a very contemporary one, in which he explores issues of dependence and independence, sexual engagement and ambivalence, alienation and loneliness.
		Freud operates a system of ‘day pictures’ and ‘night pictures’, depending on when the models are available to sit for him and whether there is daylight or artificial light.

	david cohen on lucian freud at acquavella
		Freud's art is animated to its core by a tension between the visual and the tactile.
		Freud told Robert Hughes in 1987, "I hoped that, if I concentrated enough, the intensity of scrutiny alone would force life into the pictures." But his art reached an impasse with all this smoothness and closure: the ethereal, aloof quality deprived it of the energy he was after.
		Freud leads the pony to have a look at her portrait in progress, which recalls Mark Tansey's send-up of naturalism in which academic painters bring a cow into a gallery to admire a landscape.

		Freud and Bacon are two of the most popular painters of the twentieth century, with Freud continuing to work in the twenty-first century.
		Freud paints in a more representative manner, and his portraits are famous for their honesty and ability to bring out some of the character traits of his subjects and capture them on the canvas.
		Lucian Freud was born into a Jewish family in Berlin in Germany, in 1922.

	The New Yorker : critics : art
		Lucian Freud, the subject of a huge retrospective at Tate Britain, in London, is living proof that national character still counts in art, globalization or no globalization.
		Freud began his career, during London's cold-water wartime and postwar years, as a kind of modern-arty, melancholy Pierrot, channelling styles that were in vogue at the time.
		Freud's knack for caricatural likeness gives his subjects, who tend to be people he knows, rather than professional models, enough hints of an interior life to offset the impression of a meat rack.

	Well Furlong - Lucian Freud OM, British artist - an appreciation
		Freud explores his subjects in the naked portraits with such psychological intensity, one wonders if his grandfather Sigmund Freud was just as unsettling on the couch.
		Lucian Freud has said that he seeks to paint those whom he knows and loves, painting his friends, locals, his children and mother.
		Freud painted Bacon and he was very keen to have the painting, which was stolen in 1988, exhibited in that exhibition.

	The master at work \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		To call Lucian Freud "humble" in the face of his great mentors is both to understate things and to miss the peculiar intensity of his fascinated arrogance.
		Freud, as is well known, has always been a connoisseur of the gee-gees, a deep plunger at the track, an obsessed student of their form.
		Not far from where he lives in Holland Park is a riding school, one of whose star horses is a skewbald mare, admired by Freud for her evident self-love: the head wasn't much, but her backside was magnificent and she revelled in having it patted and stroked.

	Borzoi Reader \| Catalog \| Lucian Freud: 1996-2005 by Lucian Freud
		Where Freud triumphs is in his ability to get inside his sitters: not to analyze them, as his grandfather did, but to bring them to sentient life in paint.
		Freud has also indulged his passion for animals in some wonderfully perceptive studies of horses and his whippet, Pluto.
		Lucian Freud was born in Berlin in 1922, the son of the architect Ernst Freud and the grandson of Sigmund Freud.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Lucian Freud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While critics debate whether or not Lucian Freud inherited the psychoanalytical acuity of grandfather Sigmund, a cursory study of his nudes confirms he most certainly inherited the propensity to invite pretty girls to lay down in front of him.
		In the 1950s, however, Freud developed an impasto style that suggests he was more interested in the expressionistic qualities of paint than in painting as a means to explore the psychology of the subject.
		While contemporary Francis Bacon captured the psychological anguish of his subjects by melting and exploding their figures, Freud presented a vacancy and stillness that was not so much a refusal to capture psychology, but an affirmation of the blankness of identity.

	Lucian Freud
		Freud was born in Berlin in 1922; the famous grandfather lived in Vienna, but visited and brought the grandson things like prints by Breugel.
		It is the 1940s, Freud is but a teen and heir apparent to the artistic/philosophic atmosphere of surrealism, and already this tiny work (not lent but in the catalogue) goes well beyond dream imagery to stake an eccentric territory between innocence and intense, mature prescience.
		Freud finds the sitters’ silent, human center, but he and his paint remain in a frenzy of discovery, and that special tension powers this great stuff.

	Telegraph \| Entertainment \| A model painter
		One day, Freud was reading the style magazine Dazed and Confused, edited at the time by Moss's boyfriend, Jefferson Hack - in itself a slightly unexpected thing for such a senior artist to be doing - when he discovered an interview with the model.
		Freud, of course, is a notoriously slow worker, which sometimes tries the patience of his sitters.
		From Freud's point of view, Moss was an unexpected choice of subject, because he has often said that the last thing he wants is a professional model.

	Lucian Freud
		The way that Lucian Freud's world presents itself to him and to us has been inseparable from a chill of incongruity that preserves its particularity, its otherness, as if a coldness in the figurative substance made the visual contact electric and compelling.
		Freud's view of a subject was marked from the first by a serpentine litheness in the ready, rapid way in which an object was confronted, the object of intellectual curiosity or sociable advantage or desire it was apt then to be all of them at once.
		Freud's rather few remarks about art in general set store by the defiantly inexplicable spell that the image arts achieve at their peak.

		Many people would like to be portrayed by Freud, but he selects only those few he feels like depicting (in recent years Kate Moss and the Queen have been among the lucky ones).
		Freud's method is to leave areas of untouched surface visible until very late on.

		Freud, he seems not at all like his reputation, about which he remains curious, amused, infrequently litigious but mostly too preoccupied to attempt to rectify errors.

	Sigmund Freud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to some of his successors, including his daughter Anna Freud, the goal of therapy is to allow the patient to develop a stronger ego; according to others, notably Jacques Lacan, the goal of therapy is to lead the analysand to a full acknowledgement of his or her inability to satisfy the most basic desires.
		Freud originally posited childhood sexual abuse as a general explanation for the origin of neuroses, but he abandoned this so-called "seduction theory" as insufficiently explanatory, noting that he had found many cases in which apparent memories of childhood sexual abuse were based more on imagination than on real events.
		Freud's model of the mind is often seen as a critical challenge to the enlightenment model of rational agency, which was a key element of much modern philosophy.

		Lucian Freud's figurative paintings are hard to forget-his distinctive brushwork, color combinations, and unique poses create a landscape of translucent skin that is alarming in its frankness yet beautiful in its presentation.
		Freud is one of the leading painters of our times - his often harsh depictions of family & friends are not always easy to digest, but this book helps explain the artist & his times.
		At another point, the author refers to one of Freud's early paintings (not reproduced in the book that I could find) which he argues was based on color plate III from a book on Egyptian art (which Freud owns), but the color plate is not reproduced either...
