Frases de Lucian Freud

Lucian Freud [2]​ fue un pintor y grabador británico, considerado como uno de los artistas figurativos más importantes del arte contemporáneo.[3]​

Después de haberse iniciado en el surrealismo en su juventud, se convirtió tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial en uno de los principales representantes de la pintura figurativa inglesa. Especializado en retratos, estos suelen excluir la expresión de sentimientos y los personajes representados aparecen bajo una fuerte luz, y con una carnalidad muy perceptible en el caso de los desnudos.[4]​

Recibió la Orden del Mérito del Reino Unido. Wikipedia

Lucian Freud: Frases en inglés

“When I look at a body I know it gives me choices of what to put in a painting; what will suit me and what won't. There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so.”

“I am only interested in painting the actual person; in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong.”

“My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don't want any colour to be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don't want it to operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent. I don't want people to say, "Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of yours, I've forgotten what it was."”

Words cited by Hughes as written by Freud on a wall in his studio.
Lucian Freud: Paintings (1987), p. 22
Lucian Freud : Paintings (1987)

“I always felt that my work hadn't much to do with art; my admirations for other art had very little room to show themselves in my work because I hoped that if I concentrated enough the intensity of scrutiny alone would force life into the pictures. I ignored the fact that art, after all, derives from art. Now I realize that this is the case.”
