The Painter Surprised by the Naked Admirer

This painting caught my attention because of the lack of rapport between the two and the invasiveness of the naked person. This piece is called "The Painter Surprised by a Naked Admirer," and that is exactly what is happening. The painter’s posture shows that he is uncomfortable while the admirer sits at his feet like a child. The painters name is Lucian Freud and I believe he is the man in this painting. There is also a painting inside this painting and in that painting there is a painting of the scene and so forth. It is interesting how he has painted the pose that he is in right now because he obviously must not have been where he is standing now to reach the easel and paint that picture. The colors in the painting are very bland and the two people are almost be hidden in the background. I noticed that both of the people in the picture have somewhat distorted faces and bodies. They are not made to look perfect. Actually, both of them look old and wrinkly. That is a common theme in all of his paintings. I also did some other research and the painter Freud is actually the grandson of the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud. It is very interesting to see that he painted a picture that focuses on this naked and possibly psychotic admirer.
