Lucian Freud:
No removing the warts.
stark studio light, devoid of any
social status and often with their
erotic nature fully exposed.
"He brings an unflinching and
unsentimental objectivity to the
human figure," said Ms. Hilber-
ry, whose gallery has been in
Birmingham since 1976. The
gallery typically displays work of
contemporary American painters
and sculptors. The etchings are
priced at $4,000 to $10,000. "His
intensity and bristling of scratch-
es (on the copper plate) shows
that he looks at life in a lot of dif-
ferent ways," Ms. Hilberry said.
The Lucian Freud exhibit
opened in December alongside
the mechanical paintings of New
Yorker Bill Komoski. The two ex-
hibits could not be more different.
Yet, that hardly means that they
have nothing in common.
Mr. Komoski's grays, vibrant
blues and yellows resemble com-
puter-enhanced graphics. A world
broken into abstract strands of
information leaves behind paint
and shapes on a canvas.
Within the walls of the Su-
sanne Hilberry Gallery, Mr. Ko-
moski's work serves as a prelude
to Mr. Freud's etchings, which
are, in turn, an entryway to myr-
iad levels of meaning, thought —
and yes, analysis. Even psycho-
analysis.
"They have an intimacy and
power that is so opposite to the
Komoski paintings, which are
about the technological age and
the bombardment of visuals im-
agery," Ms. Hilberry said.
Since fleeing Berlin and im-
migrating to England shortly af-
ter the Nazis came to power in
1932, Mr. Freud has created art
viewed as being everything from
honest to glum.
"He has such a great regard for
the dignity of the human figure
that he doesn't feel you have to
remove the warts," Ms. Hilbeny
said.
"What you see is about what
you respect about humanity.
With great love and care, Lucian
Freud accepts what's there."
The Lucian Freud Ethhings
exhibit will run through Jan. 21,
Susanne Hillberry Gallery is lo-
cated at 555 South Woodward,
