Lucian Freud : A Self Portrait
David Bickerstaff
Bande-annonce
Célèbre peintre britannique, Lucian Freud se distingue en tant que l’un des rares artistes du XXe siècle à se représenter de manière constante dans des autoportraits. Sur près de sept décennies, ses autoportraits offrent un voyage captivant à travers sa psyché et son évolution artistique, s’étendant de 1939 à 64 ans plus tard. Ce regard inflexible a engendré une puissante collection d’œuvres figuratives, plaçant Freud au premier plan de la peinture britannique. À travers des interviews avec des modèles, des amis et des experts en art tels que Tim Marlow et Martin Gayford, ce documentaire captivant dévoile l’œuvre d’une vie d’un maître. Ensemble, ces portraits créent une exploration passionnante du vieillissement et de l’art de l’auto-représentation.
