Lucian Freud Portraits



 These are portraits created by an exceptional artist named Lucian Freud. 

“Everything is autobiographical” Lucian Freud said, “everything is a portrait, even if it’s only a chair.”

What do you think Freud meant by this quote? 

What is your first impression of these portraits?

How are they different than other portrait paintings that you have seen?

Many of Freud's critics argue that he not only captures the physical qualities of people but also, their psychological qualities as well.   

What is meant by psychological qualities?

The painting below is Freud's painting of the Queen of England.  It was harshly criticized and many referred to it as an insult.   

What is your opinion?  What makes it or does not make it insulting? Explain. 




Remember your task is to respond to all of the questions then wait a day and respond to another persons response.
