Lucian Freud quotes - page 2

It is through observation and perception of atmosphere that he can register the feeling that he wishes his painting to give out. (Lucian Freud)
I want paint to work as flesh. View quote
Lucian Freud
The picture is all he feels about it, all he thinks worth preserving of it, all he invests it with. If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice. View quote
Lucian Freud
Whether it will convince or not, depends entirely on what it is in itself, what is there to be seen. View quote
Lucian Freud

Lucian Freud
Now that I know what I want, I don't have to hold on to it quite so much. View quote
Lucian Freud
I have a hatred of habit and routine. And what dogs love is just that. They like regular everything, and I don't have regular anything. View quote
Lucian Freud
I use the gallery as if it were a doctor. I come for ideas and help - to look at situations within painting, rather than paintings. View quote
