About the book: Unflinching portraits and laboratory-like precision: Lucian Freud is a master of figurative art and the human form. Whether it's Kate Moss, the Queen, or a fat naked civil servant – he always approached the most diverse subjects with the same unvarnished style and the same psychological rigor. With his direct and disarming portraits, Freud penetrates beneath the imperfections and folds of flesh to reveal what makes a person tick.
Biography: Sebastian Smee is a Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic at The Washington Post. He has written several book contributions on Lucian Freud, and his articles have appeared in The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and The Spectator.
