LUCIAN FREUD DRAWINGS AT BLAIN SOUTHERN

Blain Southern on Hill Street 



The works range from the intimate, including portraits of his mother and father, his children and close friends - among them the painter Francis Bacon - to landscapes and studies of animals.  
Arguably the most comprehensive survey of works on paper by Lucian Freud. Beginning in the 1940s and spanning the artist’s career, Lucian Freud: Drawings brings together more than 100 works, many of which have never been shown in public before.

Lucian Freud began by drawing, and drawing remained, for over seventy years, the basis of his art.’   - William Feaver

Encompassing more than seven decades, the works in this exhibition have been borrowed from museums, as well as from friends and private collections. Taken as a whole, the selection illuminates an aspect of Freud’s oeuvre that was often overshadowed by his painting, the truth being that to him, drawing was the essence of his practice from first to last.
