追溯这位英国具象派大师毕生不断演进的素描实践。

 

《从素描到绘画》审视了卢西安·弗洛伊德从1940年代至21世纪初的素描与油画之间深层的互动关系，揭示了他对人脸与人体形态终其一生的关注。本书采用四分之一布面精装的精美封面，印刷于无涂布艺术纸上。书中探讨了素描如何始终是弗洛伊德艺术实践的核心。从快速勾勒的速写到完成的炭笔、色粉笔与蚀刻版画，他的素描作品提供了一个窥探其创作过程的罕见窗口，展现了风格的转变、实验性的尝试以及他观察方式的不断演进。本书涵盖从他童年到晚年的完整历程，追溯了从素描实践到油画——再返回——的不寻常路径。书中除精选了弗洛伊德本人及其他艺术家难得一见的素描和重要油画外，还收录了与弗洛伊德的密友兼助手大卫·道森，以及艺术家女儿贝拉·弗洛伊德的对话。作家兼策展人凯瑟琳·兰伯特、大英博物馆素描部策展人伊莎贝尔·塞利格曼以及著名小说家科尔姆·托宾撰写的深刻文章，进一步照亮了弗洛伊德的艺术世界与遗产。

卢西安·弗洛伊德（1922–2011）被誉为20世纪最伟大的具象写实主义艺术家之一，毕生致力于肖像画创作。他曾有名言：“一切都是肖像。”他创作了观察极为细致的动植物的肖像，以及他的家人、社交圈和日常生活中人物的肖像。

 

Tracing the British figurative master's evolving drawing practice throughout his lifetime

 

Examining the intimate dialogue between his sketches and paintings from the 1940s to the early 21st century, Drawing into Painting reveals Lucian Freud's lifelong focus on the human face and form. Featuring a gorgeously designed quarter-bound cover printed on uncoated paper, the volume explores how drawing remained central to Freud's artistic practice throughout his life. From quick sketches to finished works in charcoal, pastel and etching, his drawings offer a rare window into his process, revealing shifts in style, experimentation and his evolving mode of seeing. Spanning from his childhood to his final years, the book traces the unconventional path from his drawing practice to his painting, and back again. Alongside a selection of rarely seen drawings and key paintings by both Freud and others, the book includes conversations with David Dawson, Freud's close friend and assistant, and Bella Freud, the artist's daughter. Insightful essays by writer and curator Catherine Lampert, British Museum drawings curator Isabel Seligman, and acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín further illuminates Freud's world and legacy.

Lucian Freud (1922–2011) is celebrated as one of the great figurative realist artists of the 20th century, who devoted his artistic life to portraiture. Famously stating that "everything is a portrait," he created intensely observed portraits of animals and plants, as well as his family members and those in his social circle and daily life.
