A titan of British art whose subject was humanity itself, celebrated 20th century painter Lucian Freud captured the vulnerability of his subjects–himself included. His self-portraits are on display for the first time at London’s Royal Academy of Arts in a sprawling exhibit featuring more than 50 paintings, prints and drawings. Spanning nearly seven decades, Freud’s unflinching works give fascinating insight into his psyche, development as a painter, and the process of self-representation. This intensely compelling exhibition is a unique opportunity to experience the life’s work of a master in one extraordinary show
