Celebrating the British painter Lucian Freud and the 100th anniversary of his birth, New Perspectives covers nearly 70 years of his artistic career, often overshadowed by his biography and celebrity. This book showcases fresh annotations on many of his portrait paintings and reframes Freud to a new generation of scholars and creative enthusiasts proving his international legacy. 

Throughout the pages, top contemporary painters such as Tracey Emin and Chantal Joffe provide insights to the relevance of Freud today. Established writers also dive into subjects ranging from modern adaptations of Freud’s old master paintings, to the contextualization of his work within the class struggles of 1980s Britain.
