This week discussion is on Body and Soul but also focusing on various issues that are being represented in each of the artists work. Today I want to refer to Lucian Freud's painting, Benefits Supervisor Resting. When I was viewing the painting it automatically reminded of my life drawing class and how we had to draw a nude model and there was a piece that I drew of a plump woman in charcoal and it was my first time drawing a human figure but what was similar between Freud and I was that we both used the same models repeatedly. For me though, it was more of a way to understand how to draw a model in different positions (unfortunately this is the only drawing I have of a nude model) but for Freud, he was interested in how he can learn more from his models in an emotional, physical, and mental sense.
