Lucian Freud en su estudio, Fotografía: David DawsonLucian Freud ha sido descrito como un maestro contemporáneo, un Rembrandt de nuestros tiempos. Su trabajo de hecho fue una ruptura radical con la tradición. Pintó a la gente, pero no eran exactamente retratos. Reflejó la vida, pero la vida que reflejan sus cuadros no es exactamente la vida de aquellos que pintaba, modelos, magnates, trabajadores, mascotas, sus amantes, sus hijas, y su tremenda presencia. Lucian Freud es sobretodo el pintor de una increíble, fascinante y teatral carnalidad.
Naked Man (Leigh Bowery), Back View, 1991–92"The vitality of [Freud's] nudes, the intensity of the still life paintings and the presence of his portraits of family and friends guarantee Lucian Freud a unique place in the pantheon of late 20th century art."
"His early paintings redefined British art and his later works stand comparison with the great figurative painters of any period."

Naked man wiht his friend (1978 -80)"I want paint to work as flesh, I know my idea of portraiture came from dissatisfaction with portraits that resembled people. I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having to look at the sitter, being them. As far as I am concerned, the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as the flesh does."
