Meaning & Analysis

This representation of Freud's Garden In Winter is the artist's first attempt at a large-scale etching of an outdoor landscape. Though the work is printed in monochromatic black and white, there is an almost photorealistic intensity to the print. Unlike his Naked Portraits and Portrait Heads, which are distinguished by the negative space left by Freud, no element of this composition is left unmarked by the etching needle.

Garden In Winter has its roots in a smaller work Freud created four years previously, Landscape. This zoomed-in cross-section of Freud's garden focuses on the shrubbery we see around the trunk of the tree in Garden In Winter. Much like his detailed studies of people, Freud reveals here a great commitment to representing the spaces most familiar to him. Freud allegedly worked on this etching over two winters, observing this corner of his garden only when he wanted to continue with his etching plate. Just as he chose to mainly represent his friends and family, Garden In Winter is an instance of Freud connecting with the homely environment in which he existed as lover, husband, father, and artist.

  • Famed for his representations of the human form, Lucian Freud is one of the 20th Century's most celebrated artists. The grandson of psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud, the artist confronts the psychological depth and bare complexities of the human body. From his early works to his celebrated nudes and portraits, Freud's canvases resonate with an almost tactile intensity, capturing the essence of his subjects with unwavering honesty. Freud painted only himself, close friends, and family, which floods his work with an intimacy that is felt by the viewer. His pursuit of honesty through portraiture shaped the trajectory of figurative art in the 20th century.
