Цитаты Люсьен Фрейд
„My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don't want any colour to be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don't want it to operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent. I don't want people to say, "Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of yours, I've forgotten what it was."“
— Lucian Freud
Lucian Freud: Paintings (1987), p. 16
„When I look at a body I know it gives me choices of what to put in a painting; what will suit me and what won't. There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so.“
— Lucian Freud
Lucian Freud: Paintings (1987), p. 20
„I paint people not because of what they are like... but how they happen to be.“
— Lucian Freud

„I think half the point of painting a picture is that you don't know what will happen … that if painters did know what was going to happen they wouldn't bother to do it.“

„URGENT SUBTLE CONCISE ROBUST“
— Lucian Freud
Words cited by Hughes as written by Freud on a wall in his studio.
Lucian Freud: Paintings (1987), p. 22
„I always felt that my work hadn't much to do with art; my admirations for other art had very little room to show themselves in my work because I hoped that if I concentrated enough the intensity of scrutiny alone would force life into the pictures. I ignored the fact that art, after all, derives from art. Now I realize that this is the case.“
— Lucian Freud
Said in conversation with Robert Hughes and quoted in Hughes' Lucian Freud: Paintings (1987) , p. 14
