Its been another chunk of time since I've posted. It is the day that Lucien Freud has died at 88. The small blurb/link on the side of the NYT page says "Lucian Freud, Adept Portraiture Artist, Dies at 88." I am passingly familiar with his work and find a certain charm in it. The thing I am thinking about is being known as an "adept portraiture." I am sure the main article has a lot more to say but it seems a luke warm bio. I am sure I'd be happy to be called adept at anything let alone portraiture. I feel it is as if the food was described as edible or anything as generally sufficient. This isn't so important to me but I thought I should blog again so why not this?
LATER
I found this caption later on"Painter and Provocateur, Set in His Ways" . Isn't that a much better or at least more dynamic statement.? On a side note Cy Twombly died the other week. I imagine a lot of the names in my art after 1945 art history book will be dwindling as time goes by.
