Art historians note his talent, brilliance, and complicated personal life, but until now, his own voice has often not risen above the noise. Full of verbal and visual wit, affection and irreverence, Freud?s letters now provide a revealing and at times revelatory personal look at his life and process.<br/>This volume brings together Freud?s early letters, gathered with the endorsement of the Freud estate, from both private collections and public archives, including the Freud Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Tate. Ranging from schoolboy notes to his parents to his early recognition as a professional artist, the letters, which often feature drawings and characterful visual quirks, present the multiple facets of Freud?s complex personality.<br/>Coauthored by David Dawson, Freud?s longstanding personal assistant and now director of the Lucian Freud Archive, and Martin Gayford, author, critic, and acquaintance of Lucian Freud, these extraordinary, illustrated letters are reproduced in facsimile alongside striking reproductions of Freud?s works of this period. Linked by a narrative that weaves the letters and paintings into the story of his life, including his first marriage and separation, this book provides an intimate and fresh perspective on the first three decades of the artist?s life. 300 color and 25 black-and-white illustrations4242724Love Lucian: The letters of Lucian Freud, 1939: 19544001490https://www.gandhi.com.mx/love-lucian--the-letters-of-lucian-freud--1939--1954-9780500024850/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3994397/e4808eca794560a6d6b1f82330faa035649e8ca2_tmp9780500024850.jpg?v=638537620895000000OutOfStockMXN0FITapa dura1a Edición20229780500777510_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_<p>The young Lucian Freud was described by his friend Stephen Spender as totally alive, like something not entirely human, a leprechaun, a changeling child, or, if there is a male opposite, a witch. All that magnetism and brilliance is displayed in the letters assembled here, many published for the first time. From schoolboy messages to his parents, though letters to friends, lovers, and confidants, to correspondence with patrons and associates as he became established as a professional painter, they are peppered with wit, affection and irreverence. Collectively, they provide a powerful insight into his early life and art.</p><p>Co-authored by David Dawson, Freuds longstanding personal assistant and now Director of the Lucian Freud Archive, and Martin Gayford, author, critic, and friend of the artist, this is the first published collection of Freuds correspondence. Reproduced in facsimile alongside reproductions of Freuds artwork, the letters are linked by a narrative that weaves them into the story of his life and relationships through his formative first three decades.</p>...(*_*)9780500024850_Reproductions of the young Lucian Freud?s extraordinary illustrated letters (accompanied by insightful commentary) offer an intimate glimpse of the artist?s personality and creative practice.<br/>Since his death in 2011, Lucian Freud?s reputation as one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century has continued to grow with his inimitable large-scale paintings of human figures hanging in museums worldwide and reaching dizzying prices at auction.
