Episode 3: Lucian Freud: The Self Portraits at The Royal Academy discussed by Vikki Kosmalska and Caz Murray
We head back to the Royal Academy to take on Lucian Freud. Renowned the world over for his figurative paintings, his distinctive painting style and his ability to render human skin, this exhibition takes a different tack and explores his artistic development through self portraits he created throughout his career.
Safe to say our reactions to this exhibition weren’t what we were expecting. We discuss how accessible this exhibition is, whether we would recommended it and what we discovered (or didn’t) about Freud along the way.
For Art News, we cover a story about the Italian Ministry of Culture who have got themselves in some hot water by not doing their homework and leasing a 13th Century Monastery to some rather unsavory tenants.
