Room 4
Naked Girl 1966
This was the first of a series of nudes which Freud began in 1966, which he saw as portraits of the whole person;
up until then he had tended to focus on the head.
'I always started with the head; and then I realised that I wanted very deliberately not: the figure not to be
strengthened by the head.
The head is a limb, of course.' |
