Hardback. Condition: New. In 1964 Lucian Freud set his students at the Norwich College of Art an assignment: to paint naked self-portraits and to make them 'revealing, telling, believable. really shameless'. It was advice that the artist was often to follow himself. Visceral, unflinching and often nude, Freud's self-portraits give us an insight into the development of his style as a painter. The works provide the viewer with a constant reminder of the artist's overwhelming presence, whether he is confronting the viewer directly or only present as a shadow or in a reflection.Essays by leading authorities - including those who knew him well - explore Freud's life and work, and analyse the importance of self-portraiture in his practice and the intensity that he maintained when studying his own.

Premier ouvrage consacré aux autoportraits de Lucian Freud, ce livre offre une vision pénétrante de l?esprit de cet artiste énigmatique et extrêmement secret. Ces tableaux, dessins, carnets de croquis et lettres intimes constituent pour celui qui les regarde un rappel constant de sa présence écrasante, même quand celle-ci se résume à une ombre ou à un reflet. Plusieurs auteurs, dont certains le côtoyèrent, resituent Lucian Freud dans l?histoire de l?autoportrait et se penchent sur la place qu?occupent les autoportraits au sein de son oeuvre. Leurs textes nous éclairent sur le style changeant du peintre, qui scrutait son corps avec autant d?intensité qu?il en accordait à ses modèles. David Dawson est peintre et photographe et fut l?assistant d?atelier de Lucian Freud. Joseph Leo Koerner est professeur à l?université de Harvard (Victor S. Thomas Professor of History of Art and Architecture) et Senior Fellow de la Society of Fellows en cette même université. Jasper Sharp est conservateur adjoint pour l?art moderne et contemporain au Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne. Sebastian Smee est critique d?art, lauréat du Prix Pulitzer.
