Lucian Freud

[German-born British Painter, born in 1922]

• Relationships: Grandson of Sigmund Freud.
• Browse all:  German artists / British artists

Normally I underplay facial expression when painting the figure, because I want expression to emerge through the body. I used to do only heads, but came to feel that I relied too much on the face. I want the head, as it were, to be more like another limb.
- Lucian Freud, quoted by Michael Kimmelman (found at Constable.net)
