I used to watch this series a while back when I started painting seriously. Watching all the drama was frustrating to me but it made me more aware of my materials, archiving, and provenance. I established practices around this knowledge. The last decade, I haven't painted at all. Watching the series now, I'm curious about the artists introduced here which sends me off to explore more about them. The geek in me loves all the forensics and the researcher in me loves all the history and detective work. Thank you!

I am intrigued, Kate, that you sound like a very serious painter, as you put it, and actually took steps to ensure your "work" survived into the future and yet you then state you have not painted in over a decade... Kate, pick up that brush! 😄 from one painter to another, you gotta keep going!

The colors of the stained glass would have been changed. The gold color with the yellow sunlight would have bleached out the intensity. Change it to red and the color intensifies with the sunlight. A touch of gold in the surrounding details works to highlight those details just as a gold picture frame highlights a painting.

To me it looked like someone who "lost everything", i'm assuming that back home she had her artwork spread around her estate, possibly multiple houses, as display. Then whe she fled to England she knows it's not exactly her space? She's merely a guest. So she keeps all of her personal items in her bedroom. It does look like how we use posters, of couse. And decorating our rooms with posters is also keeping our personal items in our personal space. But I don't know, although she still had so much it felt like she really did lose things and was living almost secluded in her room in a way? idk how else to describe it.

Freud painted it and gave it to somebody as a sentimental gift. It was not meant to be treated as something of financial worth. That's why he didn't sign it because that was his intent from the start. It was given as a priceless piece of his heart. I'm saying this as a professional painter myself of thirty-plus years.

@tonymataitusi948 7 ай бұрын

I actually spotted it right away and instantly confirmed by the expert. My lowly humbled opinion about Freud's partial painting is that he painted the entire facial features himself and not partially. I've come to this conclusion based entirely on Freud's idiosyncratic persona. From what was shared by people who've associated with Freud during that era, Freud was more or less a difficult man to live with. His narcissistic persona reminds us how prideful and egocentric these type of people can be. Therefore, Freud made sure he captured the unique facial features of his art professor. Someone like Freud would be too proud to leave any facial features to someone else to paint. Freud's vision in the peculiar facial features has become his signature mark over the years. Coincidentally, he would certainly NOT leave it up to chance or so.eone else to interpret his vision. Oh heck no, he'd complete all that by himself and leave the rest for someone else to complete. It's almost like as a new up and coming artist, he saw those distinct features as his signature marks because he's learning about it and found it fascinating. And like some teenagers, they only want to improve on their future signature marks and just ignore the rest.

Amateur opinion: it really is easy to see this as a starter painting from a talented artist while in school, partially unfinished. A man of mercurial moods, strong feelings & control of his art hates the unfinished outcome, perhaps it had only been meant as a sentimental gift? So he denies it later in life. Who can say? They have come as close as they can & it does not diminish either the painter or the painting. Well done.

The part of the painting which Freud didn’t touch was the left hand side. He had obviously painted over a horizontal landscape and didn’t have time to fill in the rest of the background, which is why we see the unusual horizontal trees of the underlying painting. The expert said that the entire figure was done by one artist’s hand, with the exception of the trees on the left hand side, and the reason why Freud said he didn’t paint the whole thing. What could be more obvious?

I collect old art from unknown artist and they are brilliant . They are more deserving of the art I fine at these so called prestige art galleries . I dont hold much ado about any art gallery other than to say they create an artist rather than an Artis its self . Art is a person not a profit. hence "starving artist" the galleries are starving the artist for profit.
