Lucian Freud at The National Portrait Gallery

I have recently been to a show by Lucian Freud at the National Portrait Gallery.


I have generally enjoyed the show, as the paintings were very skilful and had a lot of character in them, it will now be impossible to not recognise his work somewhere else. All his paintings have a feel of him in them and at the same time, they have a lot from the models. They are more than portraits, they show the persons soul, i thought.


But what i have really enjoyed is Freud's early work, when the portraits are just a little more than a fascination with flesh, the have a slight psychedelic feel in them which i thought was very interesting. His earlier work also has more colour in it which i like too.
