DOUBLE PORTRAIT (1986) BY LUCIAN FREUD

LUCIAN FREUD, renowned as one of the foremost portrait painters of the 20th century, is renowned for his expressive neo-expressionist style. This BRITISH artist was renowned for his use of animals in his portraits, such as in his DOUBLE PORTRAIT.

The painting depicts his daughter sleeping, one hand shielding her eyes, the other stretched out in front of her, while her companion, a dog, rests its head on her outstretched arm. The artist paints both figures with the same intensity, their bodies merging, their limbs entwining, and reverberating.

He used impasto technique to paint the canvas, depositing the paint densely onto the canvas. He frequently cleaned his brush after each application, allowing the colour to remain consistent.

He also required the sitter to dedicate a significant amount of time to the sessions, which were analogous to his grandfather SIGMUND FREUD’S psychoanalysis. LUCIAN FREUD’S goal is to bring his direct perception to the drawing board, resulting in delicate, candid, and intricate canvases.

MWW Artwork of the Day (3/10/23) Helen Lundeberg (American, 1908-1999) Double Portrait of the Artist in Time (1935) Oil in fiberboard, 121.3 x 101.6 cm. Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC

In "Double Portrait of the Artist in Time," the artist actually presents herself four different ways. She copies a pose from a childhood snapshot, reproduces a self portrait, casts her shadow between the child and the picture, and then signs her name to the painting. The child sits with objects symbolizing her youth and inexperience: a clock whose hands indicate her age, a parchment suggesting her unwritten future, and a budding stem representing her undeveloped state. The mature woman, knowing more of the world, holds a blooming flower and ponders an open globe-shaped box. The shadow suggests the physical presence of the living woman who was the child and is the adult. The signature asserts that Helen Lundeberg created the whole. Ultimately, the painting makes visible the intangible notion that a person exists on many different levels, as many different people at the same time.
