| Lucian Freud and Kate Moss in bed, photography by David Dawson, 2010 |
I paint people not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be
1941
Peter Watson, oil on canvas
Van Gogh`s boy pictured next to the wall decorated with the naked man with a bird (unidentified species) sited on his right thigh.
1945
Woman with a daffodil, oil on board on canvas
A very sad woman, wearing sea-green cardigan or jumper, just frown on somebody or something, I am not sure. Hidden behind a board, like in Renaissance.
1950–1
Boy smoking oil on canvas
The swashbuckler blasting the frame.
1952
Francis Bacon, drawing, pencil
Unzipped trousers, hands joined together but hidden, a short sleeve shirt, lines with sharp edges.
1980–1
Naked girl with egg, oil on canvas
Reminiscence of Ai no corrida, 1976. The egg well boiled with green colour inside
1982–4
Painter`s mother, oil on canvas
Not naked, hang in the corridor, randomly visited, gentleness, respect, not violated the privacy of the sitter.
1986-7
Painter and model, oil on canvas
The painter felt into a pensive mood and squeezed a tube of chromoxyd green. Contact of the naked body with an old couch creates a nasty impressions (saprophyte)
1992
Nude with leg up, oil on canvas
A bigger interest for the pussy than the face. The human being like a rag.
1993
Evening in the studio oil on canvas
The women stifled with too big breast.
1996
Bella, oil on canvas
Naked feet, naked palms, black roll-neck.
2011
Portrait of the hound, oil on canvas, 2011
Melted animality, thick texture.
An interest to humanity disappeared along with passing time and lust for the physicality.
