Get a dose of culture at Lucian Freud: The Painter's Etchings, running from Dec 16 - March 10 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

One of the foremost artists working today, Lucian Freud has redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. Although best known as a painter, etching has become integral to his practice. This exhibition presents the full scope of Freud's achievements in etching, including some seventy-five examples ranging from rare, early experiments in the 1940s to the increasingly large and complex compositions created since his rediscovery of the medium in the early 1980s.

In a dramatic and unusual cross-media installation, it also includes related paintings and drawings, illuminating the cross-pollinating relationship between Freud's etchings and paintings.
