Although Freud brought the same qualities to his paintings and drawings of plants, flowers, and landscapes, these are largely unknown. This elegant book shows how working with plants emboldened Freud to experiment with style and composition. Reproduced in sumptuous plates that allow readers to indulge in exquisite detail, seventy-five works--including Two Plants, Bananas, Cyclamen, The Painter's Garden, and Interior at Paddington--reveal Freud's singular approach to plant life. Readers unfamiliar with this aspect of Freud's work will find many similarities to his portraits--earthy palettes, unconventional rawness, and assiduous attention to detail. From the delicate realism of the cyclamens' petals to the bold brushstrokes that immortalize his overgrown garden, readers will appreciate Freud's ability to portray plants in new and personal ways. Comparative illustrations from throughout art history accompany essays on the history of plants in art and an appreciation of Freud's oeuvre. This monograph is a tremendous contribution to Freud's legacy, one that will enrich his admirers' discernment while also introducing his thoroughly original depictions of plants to a new audience"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Freud, Lucian $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Plants in art. 700 1 $a Freud, Lucian. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013732.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505012205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77B7C56CFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
