because I can think of most everything about the artist except his name and the name of this work (if there was one, since this particular one was just a figure sketch.)
I keep thinking it COULD be Lucian Freud... but google only comes up with a lot of paintings, no figurative work.. which is all that is in my head when I think about this artist .. I cant remember. Plus I dont think the more famous freud had syphilis?
The artists work and the way that his style comes through, can be quite grotesque but quite beautiful also. I believe his father had syphilis and this had an effect on his work? (unless Im getting two artists mixed up)
He painted but overall to me his plain sketches with striking backings and simple colour, are far more effective.. so they stand out to me a lot more.
uh, dismiss my bad photoshop representation but, this is one of the works that would be more stound-out-ish if you happened to be familiar with his work, or own a book on his work. Its one that stood out to me when I was reading up on him in a book of his paintings/sketches etc.
will attach in a sec..
