Selected by William Feaver

BlainSouthern is delighted to present the most comprehensive survey of works on paper by Lucian Freud (b.1922 - 2011). Beginning in the 1940s and spanning the artist's career, Lucian Freud: Drawings brings together more than 100 works, many of which have never been shown in public before.Curator William Feaver, who presented Freud's acclaimed retrospectives at Tate Britain, London (2002) and the Museo Correr, Venice (2005), worked closely with the artist on this exhibition for the last five years, until his death in July 2011. Freud always prided himself on his drawing, and Feaver believes that the 'interplay between the works on paper, both drawings and etchings, and the paintings of the past 70 years' was crucial to his artistic achievement. The curator emphasises that he has aimed 'to accomplish not so much a retrospective overview as a study of Freud's development from prodigy onwards.'The works range from the intimate, including portraits of his mother and father, his children and close friends - among them the painter Francis Bacon - to landscapes and studies of animals.Etchings, watercolours, gouaches and works rendered in chalk, charcoal, pastel, conte, and pen and ink, are to be interspersed with oil paintings, constantly interrelating."
