“首部汇集弗洛伊德植物画的书籍”

与他备受推崇的肖像画不同，弗洛伊德的植物画并不为一般读者熟悉，却同样具备亲密、严谨的特质而令人着迷。《弗洛伊德植物标本集》（Lucian Freud Herbarium）首次以书籍的形式将画家表现植物的绘画、素描集中在一起，以高清图版重现了75件作品，展示了弗洛伊德与众不同的技巧方法，也呈现了他如何通过描绘植物来试验不同的风格和构图。

内容简介：

在图版之外，此书还收录了两篇论文，一篇是对艺术史上表现植物的作品的梳理，另一篇则是对弗洛伊德全部作品（oeuvre）的赏析，也就为读者欣赏、理解书中的作品提供了必要的背景和语境说明。对于弗洛伊德的拥趸来说，此书应该可以丰富、加深大家对他的认识；对于尚不熟悉他的读者来说，此书也未尝不是一个进入其艺术世界的入口。

Lucian Freud’s portraits are known for their spectacular detail and unflinching gaze. 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.
