About the Item

Lucian Freud OM CH (British, 1922 – 2011) A couple Etching, 1982 Signed with initials and numbered ‘25/25 L.F.’ (lower edge) Plate mark measures 4.1/2 x 4.1/2 in. (11.4 x 11.4 cm.) Provenance: With Heffers Gallery, Cambridge Mr Evan and Mrs Patricia Steadman (Mr Steadman was the former organiser of the Grosvenor Antiques Fair) German-born artist Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was among the leading figurative painters of the twentieth century. Throughout his seventy-year career, Freud mantained a life-long interest in the human face and body and relentlessly explored the possibilities of portraiture. His work was deeply rooted in the continuous and uncompromising observation of any individual who posed for him. Always painting from life, Freud was drawn to people he was familiar with, like family and friends. His works often recorded the cycles and transformations of his relationships. He expected a significant commitment from his sitters, requiring them to pose for several hours at a time, over a period of weeks or months, and in some cases even years. Freud also regularly turned his gaze inward, applying the same unsparing level of scrutiny to his self-portraits. His works demonstrate the unrelenting intensity of his observation and his deep commitment in revealing the sense of individuality in each person, animal or object. A deeply private and guarded person, it is through his work that we get to know Freud the man. The exhibition explores the different aspects of his practice alongside his complex relationships with some of the people who modelled for him.
