Brenda re influences on Lucian Freud:

Yes, Stanley Spencer, a terrific English painter (1891-1959). Korzhev's (I had the last name wrongly spelled in my post) first name is (was, rest his Russian soul if he's gone) Geli M, a fairly late social realist (actually more of an 'expressionist') of the fifties and sixties (see "Socialist Realist Painting", Matthew Cullerne Bown, Yale University Press, 1998). His powerful in-your-face paintings make extensive use of anatomical distorsion (as in wide-angle), with heavy emphasis on ' blue-veined' skin. I never read anywhere that Korzhev is considered to have influenced Freud, but to me the similarities are undeniable, whether directly related or not.
