"Lucian Freud Etchings from the Paine Webber Art Collection"
2000-09-16 until 2001-01-14
Carnegie Museum of Art
Pittsburgh, PA, USA

In the 1940s, Lucian Freud had a short career as a skillful and talented etcher. He turned away from the medium for over 30 years and became renowned as a great realist painter. In 1982, he returned to printmaking, creating portraits and studies of the naked figure that achieved a comparable power and intensity to his paintings while carrying their own special magnetism.

The forty-two etchings in this exhibition, which was organized by The Yale Center for British Art, provide an almost complete representation of his work since that time.
