We finally get to see the face of Rick Monroe. Just kidding, this guy is hairy enough to be Rick;-)

[Guest tcd31]

a self-portrait by Francis Bacon?

[Guest gryphone]

It's a self portraint of Lucian Frieud, grandson of Sigmund, nephew of Anna, strongly influenced by Bacon, and now

astride the art world, though the most diffident of men, and considering his income from the Freud copyrights, one of the keast self-indulgent. His nudes are famous, though concentrated more on the effects of life and age (even his own mother on several occassions, but his portraints are terrific also. You might want to read the recently published memoirs of his first wife, the late Lady Caroline Blackwood, also later married to the poet Robert Lowell, for some accounts of his early adult life.

I concur with gryphone,it is actually a pretty well known piece of work.If any of you want a real chuckle look at his portait of queen Elizabeth-shows you why they had to bring outside talent in to pop out some attractive heirs.

Yes, I say it's Lucian Freud's self portrait.

 

Here is his official golden jubilee portrait of HMQ. (When it was first shown to the public, a man on the streets said, "At least he got the crown right." :7 )

It's Lucien Freud, all right. But what impresses me is the quality of the photograph and its scan onto this site. Out of this world! (And what a painter he is...............!)

DING, DING, DING ! We Have a Winner !

 

Thanks Gryphone. Bonus points for the additional info

 

Honorable mention to CTDick for posting Freud's Betty Windsor. Seeing it again reminds me of Picasso's comment when told his portrait of Gertrude Stein didn't look like her. "Don't worry. It will."
