In the picture of the English artist “Portrait in the interior, version 9” we see a story that is not very original – two women, two generations, one of them leaving. The peculiarity is that it causes a piercingly painful feeling, but not from pity, but from a sudden understanding of the truth, which one does not have to know until a certain moment.
Understanding that life inevitably ends. For all without exception. Slows down the rhythm of life, the heart beats, seemingly, more slowly and with interruptions. We stop loving mirrors, and thoughts about death are becoming familiar, but still sad. “The conqueror of the tops of the art market – Lucien Freud – is distinguished by some archaic seriousness of attitude towards the mission of the artist, designed to capture the cries of the soul and the suffering of fading flesh, causing the viewer to sob and be horrified” – write about the artist criticism.
