LUCIAN FREUD

A Self Portrait

“What, I believe, will remain constant is our conviction that great artists are defined by great passion, by their ability to carve out their own distinct (and often revolutionary) style, and by their enchanting approach to storytelling. This description paints a remarkably accurate portrait of Lucian Freud. The film is very much about the self, the progress of time and one man’s intense struggle with the making of making art.”

- Director David Bickerstaff

EXHIBITION ON SCREEN’s intensely compelling film on Lucian Freud reveals the life and work of a modern master through a unique exhibition of his self-portraits at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Freud made self-portraits for the whole of his life which intersected his controversial private life and reflected his shifting relationship with paint. His intense and unflinching gaze has produced a body of powerful, figurative works that places him in the forefront of great British painting.

The film journeys through this landmark exhibition in which Freud turns his critical eye firmly on himself. Notoriety followed the grandson of Sigmund Freud: he was a key figure in London’s radical post-war art scene. Audiences worldwide will have a front row seat to view Freud’s powerful and intimate self-portraits.

Directed by David Bickerstaff
