Hey Gabe! Totally agree that Freud is a great artist and is daring in his work. I like how the imperfections in the paintings make the situation and the people seem very realistic.

ReplyDeleteI love Freud's work. I also love Jenny Saville's - and your first painting there ... is Jenny Saville's. Their work has a similar mood to it, both painted a fair amount of fat women. I hope you'll check her work out. Although she's moved on from this particular series, she is still living and working.
