Inspiration #9 - Lucian Freud

posted by julie on Wednesday, July 05, 2006

About 5 years ago, I went to see Lucian Freuds exhibition showing in Tel Aviv. Fantastic, large canvases, with vivid, energetic paintings. I love his painting style, despite it being a bit heavy with muted colours. Unfortunately, his work is best viewed in real life or at least enlarged...

   It always amazes me how artists make paint turn into something so real.

   I love this style also, the third picture looks like a photograph. Thank you for sharing this, Julie!

   I love the work of Lucian Freud! I saw his exhibit at MOCA LA a few years ago and was blown away.
   
   Cheers!
