Behind the façade of cultivated indifference lay a mawkish sensibility. Perhaps Freud was more like Alma-Tadema or Russell Flint than we ever suspected.Phil Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075686435889440881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65501308820871089.post-41736438051226397262011-07-27T00:19:13.912+01:002011-07-27T00:19:13.912+01:00I've always found it really hard to form an op...I've always found it really hard to form an opinion of Lucian Freud. From a distance his paintings have sometimes appeared to me as little more than manifestations of a morbid and inverted sentimentality. <br /><br />So it was very interesting to read what you say about the autonomy of his brushstrokes. I can't imagine what a different experience it must be seeing these works up close... <br /><br />Perhaps Lucian Freud was one of those artists whom it is impossible to apprehend through photos and digital repros. If so, that in itself is something of an admirable achievement these days.Isabelnoreply@blogger.com
