Take a close look at one of Britain’s most influential and talented artists.

Post-1982, Freud mostly focused on graphic pictures and this exhibition consists of 52 intriguing black and white body sketches he made during that period.

The exhibition is part of the Louisiana ‘On Paper’ series and is a follow-up on a retrospective of Lucian Freud at Louisiana in 2007. (LK)
