While we are observing his art adventure and devolopment on these portraits, we follow closely the artists interpretation on body and building relations between body and sense. Artist, in 1940s, by following the art styleof the age, while continuing for new styles during 1950s, with the early 1960s he got a individual style. This is a new way that he figure out to build the sign of spirit and time on body. On these works, body and spirit both naked at the same rate. With these works, flesh is valued as a part of a life and expresses itself. Fleshes, full of sense, leave no gaps in the audience. Not that we want to see on body, our perception is oriantated by what Freud wants to show. Figure enforces itself as a separate individual and wins the challenge against the audience. The winner of this challenge is not only the figure. Art he created with the hard expressions of mind and patience, Lucian Freud became a one of the most important name in his century and both in 21st century.
