I wonder if it's enough that it gets people talking ? This certainly has and one thing I do belive is that any artistic effort should provoke a reaction - whatever that reaction may be it must incite something. Kind regards Rod Wonderland,

Lucian Freud is a wonderful artist as i am studying him currently and his etchings are a major highlight of life :) but there are opinions i suspect, and, well, im not really fond of nude paintings... :? even though i say so myself, i would have perferred it if maybe she was in a slightly different position. :) :) Well, it’s sure enough interesting :)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you'll forgive the dreadful cliche, you could say the Monet I put up is simply just daubs of paint and 'not very clear' Cheers Rod Neville,

I'm with Dinosaur and Fran on this one. I realise that several issues are raised with the OP but I would like to go back to basics. Reality check: The artist is making a statement, just as we are here. Each of us has a different point of view and we are trying to express what we feel using the tools of language. Freud is saying how he feels about the subject in paint. This is what an overweight woman, (she may or may not be a lady), looks like when lolling on a rather small couch. No disrespect meant to her, neither by me, nor I suspect, Freud; it is just factual. I don't see the image as ugly at all despite the fact that, in a sensual sense, I much prefer women to be slender, nor is it, I think, pornographic. I haven't done any research into the picture or the artist and indeed this is the first I have seen of it, so my viewpoint is totally unbiased. The fact that Lucian Freud is a member of the art establishment and seemingly very rich, he knows that he can paint for himself rather than the art market. The fact that the painting is projected to sell for X millions is not really relevant to the judgement of the work. I don't have millions so I won't be at the auction,but I would gladly give the picture wall space and appreciate it for its honesty. There that's another load of steam let off! Thanks for the opportunity Rod. Neville Rod & Co.

Regardless of the fact that this is not 'pretty' to look at it is a stunning example of what modern art should be. Lucian Freud is a genius, and this painting clearly demonstrates this!
