Text Quotes
Everything is autobiographical and everything is a portrait (Lucian Freud Quotes)
You ask why I’m fascinated by the human figure? As a human animal, I am interested in some of my fellow animals: in their minds and bodies. (Lucian Freud Quotes)
A painter’s tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art. (Lucian Freud Quotes)
When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won’t (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it’s what Yeats called the fascination with what’s difficult. I’m only trying to do what I can’t do (Lucian Freud Quotes)
The paintings that really excite me have an erotic element or side to them irrespective of subject matter (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I want paint to work as flesh (Lucian Freud Quotes)
The task of the artist is to make the human being uncomfortable (Lucian Freud Quotes)
What do I ask of a painting? I ask it to astonish, disturb, seduce, convince (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I have a timetable, but no routine (Lucian Freud Quotes)
The character of the artist doesn’t enter into the nature of the art (Lucian Freud Quotes)
My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings (Lucian Freud Quotes)
A moment of complete happiness never occurs in the creation of a work of art. The promise of it is felt in the act of creation but disappears towards the completion of the work. For it is then the painter realises that it is only a picture he is painting. Until then he had almost dared to hope the picture might spring to life (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I work from the people that interest me, and that I care about, in rooms that I live in and know. I use the people to invent my pictures, and I can work more freely when they are there (Lucian Freud Quotes)
If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice (Lucian Freud Quotes)
Losing as much money as I can get hold of is an instant solution to my economic problems (Lucian Freud Quotes)
The only way I could work properly was by using the absolute maximum of observation and concentration that I could possible muster (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I think half the point of painting a picture is that you don’t know what will happen... that if painters did know what was going to happen they wouldn’t bother to do it (Lucian Freud Quotes)
Sometimes, when I’ve been staring too hard, I’ve noticed that I could see the circumference of my own eye (Lucian Freud Quotes)
And, since the model he faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture, since the picture is going to be there on its own, it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model (Lucian Freud Quotes)
Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... It is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model (Lucian Freud Quotes)
The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice (Lucian Freud Quotes)
There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so (Lucian Freud Quotes)
Whether it will convince or not, depends entirely on what it is in itself, what is there to be seen (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I paint people not because of what they are like... But how they happen to be (Lucian Freud Quotes)
The painter’s obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work (Lucian Freud Quotes)
A painter’s tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I paint people, not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be (Lucian Freud Quotes)
I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them (Lucian Freud Quotes)
