Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 2 works by Lucian Freud (1922–2011) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Freud's late portraits and nudes are the most physically demanding paintings in British art — thick strokes of paint, bodies rendered with unflinching attention. In person, the scale of his large works transforms them from exercises in technique into something closer to confrontation.
