LIVERPOOL
.- This summer, Tate Liverpool stages a significant presentation of Lucian Freud (1922 - 2011) artworks, the first in the North West in over thirty years. Widely considered a master of modern portraiture, Freud was an artist who continued to expand his exploration of paint throughout his career. This focused exhibition features some of the artists most iconic paintings and etchings as well as photographs that provide an intimate glimpse into Freuds life. Lucian Freud: Real Lives concentrates on the artists sitters who were often friends and family, creating clusters of portraits of those he captured over time, and thereby illuminating Freuds technical virtuosity and stylistic development. Deeply private and guarded, it is through his work that we get to know Freud the man, and this exhibition tracks the personal and artistic changes he went through, revealing the different people that came in and out of his life .
