Hombre desnudo visto de espalda

Lucian Freud British, born Germany
1991–92
Not on view
Las composiciones de Lucian Freud, uno de los principales pintores realistas británicos, revelan la humanidad de sus modelos al tiempo que establecen de manera innegable su presencia física. Leigh Bowery, un performance artist australiano que vivía en Londres, era uno de sus modelos favoritos. Es irónico que, aunque Bowery era conocido por sus atuendos y maquillajes estrafalarios, Freud lo representó desnudo en su estudio, sentado en un escabel. El artista prácticamente esculpe el montañoso terreno de la espalda carnosa con espesas capas de pintura. En esencia, este cuadro no es un retrato tradicional sino una naturaleza muerta de la piel de Bowery.
