Elizabeth Lamle, a doctoral student in the field of art history and migration, who is currently working on a collaborative study of Lucian Freud’s juvenilia, examines key works from the National Portrait Gallery’s unexplored archive of Lucian Freud’s early drawings and correspondence. With material ranging from 1928 to 1951, she’ll share new insights into the development of Freud’s language, cultural identity and artistic practice.

This session is part of our series celebrating the centenary of Lucian Freud’s birth, held in conjunction with Jewish Renaissance and Insiders Outsiders. This session will be free to attend, but please click here to reserve your place.
