Lucian Freud
"Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model."
Quote_1.png
Lucian Freud
"Whether it will convince or not, depends entirely on what it is in itself, what is there to be seen."
Quote_1.png
Lucian Freud

Lucian Freud
"The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art."
Quote_1.png
Lucian Freud
"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."
Quote_1.png
Lucian Freud

Quote_1.png
Lucian Freud

Lucian Freud
