Lucian Freud
Lucian Michael Freud, OM CH is an English painter and illustrator specializing in pictorial arts, and is known as one of the greatest portrait painters of the 20th century. Son of the Jewish architect Ernst L. Freud and grandson of Sigmund Freud. Freud took his first name "Lucian" from his mother in tribute to the ancient writer Lucien of Samosata. His family moved to England in 1933 to escape the rise of Nazism. From 1942 to 1943 he attended Goldsmiths College in London. He served at sea in the British Merchant Navy during World War II. His beginnings as an artist were influenced by surrealism, but by the early 1950s his often austere and alien paintings tended to be realism. Freud is a discreet and confidential man, and his paintings, completed over 60 years of his career, are mostly friends and family. Overall, they're dark and incredibly corny, often set in disturbing city interiors and landscapes.
