In tribute to Lucian Freud, who died in London yesterday, July 21, at the age of 88, artcritical offers a tribute by writer Franklin Einspruch and a garland of reviews from our archives: a recently posted review by Stephen Maine of Martin Gayford’s Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud, and reviews of his 2004 and 2006 exhibitions of new works in New York, by David Cohen and John Goodrich respectively. More words will follow as our writers digest the contribution and achievements of this most singular of painters.
