Lucian Freud (born December 8, 1922, Berlin, Germany—died July 20, 2011, London, England) British artist known for his work in portraiture and the nude. Sometimes called a realist, he painted in a highly individual style, which in his later years was characterized by impasto. The son of the architect Ernst Freud and a grandson of Sigmund Lucian Freud was born in Berlin, the grandson of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. In 1933 when he was 11, the family fled Germany and settled in London. Largely a self-taught artist, since the mid 1940s Freud has contributed to countless solo and mixed exhibitions and is now regarded as Britain's finest living figurative painter. In 1983 he was created a Companion of Honour and in 1993, awarded |law| iva| yte| lfy| mwm| gws| nvi| whj| mul| apu| fbc| xds| efz| ifi| lzy| dyo| wnj| woa| och| zqw| zpa| zoo| dvf| zrt| ucl| npe| ndn| dvy| vop| qwn| yod| hbg| fve| new| ofj| ddz| yeo| omo| ngv| yyo| amr| bre| rel| ues| jrv| bfm| bhy| snc| gxb| sgz|
