Talk:Lucian Freud

message: 40 kids seems a large estimate to me (I can count only 2 legitimate and 11 not) but hey, the Sunday Telegraph must know what it's talking about. -- Someone else 02:24 Apr 9, 2003 (UTC)
:I didn't realise he was so prolific. Out of interest - do you happen to know if this Kathleen Garman (aka Kathleen Epstein) is any relation to the sculptor Jacob Epstein? --Camembert
:Yups, she's his daughter (born before her parents married, which is why she had the name Garman). -- Someone else 02:38 Apr 9, 2003 (UTC)
::I think that this is a definite exaggeration, if not an outright fabrication. If you google it, or search the website of the Telegraph, there doesn't seem to be an article on Freud from the date given. The closest I can find is this: , which cites the more typical number of 9 children altogether. My guess is that someone added a 0 to it, but I haven't checked the page history- yet. 216.54.198.18 (talk) 13:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

message: His name is spelt Lucien, not Lucian. I have edited the entry but couldn't find out how to change the main title. The wrong spelling is very persistent -- appearing in the first 4 entries on Google. - (unsigned)
 
*It's Lucian, not Lucien, according to the Larousse Biographical Dictionary. (It also gets 39,100 hits on Google compared to 5,140). What makes you think it's Lucien? - Nunh-huh 01:22, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: I have written a biography on Laurie Lee and he had an affair with LCW - after meeting her in Spain - which came to an end when she met Lucian Freud. Lorna was the aunt of Kitty Garman who became Freud's first wife.
From the Kathleen Garman page:
Kathleen Garman's first daughter, also named Kathleen Garman, called "Kitty", became the first wife of the painter Lucian Freud. Their marriage was short-lived but produced two daughters, Annie and Annabel. Incestuously, Freud had had a previous affair with Lorna Garman, Kitty's aunt.

message: Hi everyone, I've began my own quest to talk to artists, and attend live discussions about art and artists. I was wondering if Wikipedia accepts citations from recorded interviews? If so, how does one present it as a reference? Thanks for your advice -- Marcuslim (talk) 12:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Two nations?

message: Not that long ago an image of this painting (The Painter’s Room) was present in this article. Now it has disappeared, and I cannot find it in WikiSource. Now, that's a shame, not only is it a personal favourite (that bears no importance, naturally,) but also a wonderful work, and important in showing Freud's development as a painter. 
How can we add this image back? And how has it disappeared, or, how was it there to begin with? Was it ever "legally" there? (Remember it being there for several years)
--Torsrthidesen (talk) 12:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Torsrthidesen, I removed the image a few months ago because its an early work, not really representative, and to be be perfectly honest, I dont like it ;). Whatever, I don't have any problem if you reinstate, or I can put it back if you wish. Ceoil 20:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If you could reinstate it, that would make me very happy. It beautifully captures his early Surrealist-influence. --Torsrthidesen (talk) 04:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Fair enough. Now to go and find it...Ceoil 15:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Its been deleted, bear with me. Ceoil 15:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Can't you re-upload it? I can never figure out the rules for uploading images to wikiepda... --Torsrthidesen (talk) 16:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  In fact... I've only just noticed that the painting is indeed mentioned by name in the article, and its relation to a commsioned work, and the reuse of elements already then. An element he later, in my own personal view, went overbord with... Enough with the Leigh Bowerys already, oy vey! --Torsrthidesen (talk) 01:24, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Should there not be links to some of his paintings?  Eg http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/lucian-freud/gaz  Also, I'm a bit surprised that there don't seem to be articles on his individual works?  Grj23 (talk) 04:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Works 

message: I changed the wording to "widely considered thea pre-eminent British artist of his time", as there has always been that Bacon, unfairly or not, out-shadowed him. No doubt this is a large part why they stopped hanging out or even talking in the early 60s. The accolade seems to understate his importance now. I would appreciate input and thoughts on this.

thread_title: Accolade in the lead

message: No where in the Roberta Smith review for the New York Times (ref #2) does it say that Freud "was known for asking for extended and punishing sittings from his models." I challenge that it should be replaced with a "citation needed" tag - or the word punishing itself be removed entirely. I have yet to find in any source related to Freud where a subject complained of their sitting with the painter to the point of "punishment"; and the article section Mature style does not reflect the lede as such; only the remarkable length of time it took to complete a single painting and the "rapport" between painter and model.

message: Under the heading "Later career", there is a sentence near the end of the fourth paragraph which begins "The major retrospective at London's Hayward Gallery in 1988 was the focal point for the BBC Omnibus programme which saw one of the very conversations with Freud ever recorded..." (emphasis added).  It would appear that a word is missing, as the sentence is nonsensical as it stands.  Was it "...one of the first..."? -"...one of the last..."? -"...worst..."?
