Lucian Freud Portraits'I've always wanted to create drama in my pictures, which is why I paint people. It's people who have brought drama to pictures from the beginning. The simplest human gestures tell stories.'

Lucian Freud

Comprehensive collection of the late artist's portraits where he represented with technical virtuosism and psychological insight the people close to his heart, family, friends, lovers.
