Lucian Freud, Seated 3
charcoal, paint, glass, guilded antique frame 32" wide x 51" high |
|
In "Seated Portrait of Lucian Freud, 3" aka "The Annunciation" ". . . Freud's slim angular figure retreats into the paper, like the Virgin in a Renaissance Annunciation shrinking from the angel confronting her. A particularly striking Freud portrait features drawings both on paper and on the glass over the paper, giving an effect of richness and depth. The figure almost merges with the black void behind him; spectral bits of white skin sketchily define his features. Surrounding him, almost mocking him, is a broken antique gilded frame; the gold, black and white working together create a rich effect..." - from two reviews by: Christine Temin The Boston Glove

The Wall: Portrait of Francis Bacon, #3
charcoal on museum board 34 x 44 |
|
"Scattergood-Moore's charcoal Portrait of Francis Bacon offers a fragmentary vision of the British painter who himself most dramatically fragmented the human figure in our time. And without aping Bacon's own signature style. Here Bacon is reduced to a large staring, off-centered eye; the rest of his face fades away into the murky ground, with only its outlines visible. The artist draws a square frame around the portrait referring to the glass "boxes" Bacon often places his own portraits in like specimens in a bell jar"
