Master portraitist and specialist in nudes, Freud used impasto to create depth and intensity while restraining his color palate to mostly muted hues. His portraits may be physically unflattering to their subjects, but they are honest, frank, and unapologetic. "I paint people," Freud said, "not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be."</div><div> </div><div class="margin-bottom" id="series_text" style="display: block;"><div><strong>About the Series:</strong><br>Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:</div><ul><li><div>a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance</div></li><li><div>a concise biography</div></li><li><div>approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions</div></li></ul></div></div>
