Lucian Freud has been a long time favorite of mine. His art is honest, it is raw- it does not work to beautify the human form, but rather searches to find the human nature within the form. His work is all about the search, thickly layering paint to work and rework the fleshy form and building up color. It pushes the line toward abstraction, we find ourselves concerned with the beautiful physicality of paint and forget the body we are actually seeing.
