Theodore Dreiser
(Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (1871-1945) was an American author of the naturalist school, known for dealing with the gritty reality of life.)
This quote might be a tad bit heavy, but I dig it.
It speaks of the ineffable differences between student and more mature work...

There's that word again: WORK... (travail is French for work or toil).
Although it's an old man,I still think it's a great piece of art work. goodjob. :]
Whoa. This is amazing, the oil paint gives the self portriat a unique look. The artist really emphisised little important details which makes it look sooo realistic. Greattttt job!
I really like this portrait. You made him look so real and alive it's awesome! I really would like to try to do one of these portraits sometime using oil paint, it just makes it look so real. you did an amazing job. =)
This is a really characterized painting. I can see a story in his face along with a scary past. I love the different shades of brown and the lines in his face. He reminds me of someone who has lived a long and painful life, but at the same time, was prosperous.
Lucian Freud is possibly the best living painter in the world.
A biography and some more examples of his work can be found in the artchive (it's in the links section)
fun fact: Lucian is the grandson of Sigmund Freud.
