Lucian Freud Self Portrait (abstact)
Paris is everybody’s favorite city, or at least this what we say when asked. In Paris my favorite Museum is the Centre Pompidou because once when I was stranded in Paris with out a room waiting for flight to NY the next morning the Museum was my host for the day. Now there is another reason for me to hang out at the Pompidou and that is the Lucian Freud exhibit which openned yesterday and will be on view until July 19th, 2010. I may have already seen many of the paintings in this show at the Tate but time constraints did not allow me to spend the day 😆 , plus I am sure there will be works that I never got to see. It would all be worth while.
Lucian Freud’s painting are large, powerful and as a painter myself I’m struck by the energy it takes for these painting to be produced. Freud takes no shortcuts and no glib presentation of his subjects. I would love to see the works again “can travel but no ticket”. I wonder if I can stay at the Pompidou again?
