The art of Lucian Freud
"Woman in a White Shirt" (1957) by Lucian Freud.
"Ninety-six percent of his work were portraits," said curator Michael Auping. Of the exhibition "Lucian Freud: Portraits," Auping said, "In a sense this is a retrospective of his life's work. And more than that, it's a visual biography of his life. . . .
"He would say to me, 'You know, Michael, if you're interested in the human condition, you have to study the human condition very, very carefully."
