LUCIEN FREUD:
A SELF PORTRAIT
For the first time in history
the Royal Academy of Arts
in London, in collaboration
with the Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston, brought together
Lucian Freud’s self-portraits.
The exhibition displayed
more than 50 paintings, prints
and drawings in which this
modern master of British art
turned his unflinching eye
firmly on himself. One of the
most celebrated painters
of our time, Lucien Freud is
also one of very few 20thcentury
artists who portrayed
themselves with such
consistency.
Spanning nearly seven
decades his self-portraits
give a fascinating insight
into both his psyche and his
development as a painter, from
his earliest portrait painted in
1939 to the final one executed
64 years later. This intensely
compelling exhibition creates
a unique opportunity for
Exhibition on Screen to reveal
the life’s work of a master in
one show.
