“Man with Arms Folded” is an artwork created by Lucian Freud in 1944. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is genrely classified as a portrait.
The artwork depicts a man with his arms folded, rendered in a stylized and somewhat surrealist manner. The man lies in a reclining position with his eyes closed, suggesting a state of rest or contemplation. The use of line work is prominent, with careful attention to the folds in the clothing and the form of the hands. The overall composition exudes a calm and introspective mood, characteristic of the surrealist movement’s focus on dreamlike and introspective subjects.
