Lucian Freud Quotes

The paintings that really excite me have an erotic element or side to them irrespective of subject matter.
Lucian Freud

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

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

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

Whether it will convince or not, depends entirely on what it is in itself, what is there to be seen.
Lucian Freud
