Lucien Freud Quotes
'A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure.'
'As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does.'
'Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid.'
'Now that I know what I want, I don't have to hold on to it quite so much.'
'The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh.'
'The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.'
