LUCIAN FREUD
Lucian Freud, Reflection Self-Portrait, 1985
“Both the interior and exterior of his figures show the intense realism that makes him unique among artists. His portraits are very realistic, and he does not beautify his subjects. Any blemishes or defects are exaggerated, and the results are sometimes so ugly, so scary. He’s a real genius. A great artist, such quality! He achieves any emotion easily in his work.”
