Synopsis
A riveting life of the brilliant British artist, one of the greatest figurative painters of the 20th century., Phoebe Hoban, author of definitive biographies of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Alice Neel, now turns her attention to Lucian Freud, the grandson of Sigmund and one of the greatest painters England has produced. Lucian Freud: Eyes Wide Open is the first biography to assess Freud's work and life, showing how the two converge. In Hoban's dramatic and fast-paced narrative, we follow Freud from his birthplace in Berlin to London, where he fled with his family in the 1930s, and then to Paris, where he mixed with Picasso and Giacometti. He led a dissolute life in Soho after the war, gambling and womanizing with fierce energy. He painted his wives nude, his children nude, himself nude. He married twice, had an uncountable number of children, and kept working through it all, painting everyone from close friend and rival Francis Bacon to Kate Moss and Queen Elizabeth. He sometimes spent years on a single painting, which could require hundreds of hours of sittings. However various his subjects, his intent was always the same: to find and reveal the character hidden within by means of his intense visual imagination. Along with its startling biographical revelations, the great thrill of Lucian Freud: Eyes Wide Open is the way Hoban deconstructs the art itself--its influences, models, and technique--to show how Freud reproduced reality on the canvas while breaking down the illusion that what we see is real., Phoebe Hoban, author of definitive biographies of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Alice Neel, now turns her attention to Lucian Freud, the grandson of Sigmund and one of the greatest painters England has produced.

- e***m (132)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFirst off, I'll say that I'm happy with this purchase and the seller. That said, I do want to mention that because the Amazon listing details were copied into the description, I thought it came with the blanket (says the plates will be wrapped in the blanket). I didn't see the condition notes in the item details section. Again, I don't hold this against the seller, I've done the same thing myself as a seller. Also the dishes were shipped dirty, but for the price, I can't complain.
