"Lucian Freud Etchings from the Paine Webber
Art Collection"
2000-09-16 until 2001-01-14
Carnegie Museum of Art
Pittsburgh, PA,
USA
In the 1940s, Lucian Freud had a short career as a skillful and
talented etcher. He turned away from the medium for over 30
years and became renowned as a great realist painter. In
1982, he returned to printmaking, creating portraits and
studies of the naked figure that achieved a comparable power
and intensity to his paintings while carrying their own special
magnetism.
The forty-two etchings in this exhibition, which
was organized by The Yale Center for British Art, provide an
almost complete representation of his work since that time.
