Lucian Michael Freud
(8 December 1922 – 20 July 2011)
British figurative painter Lucian Freud has died. His dealer, William R. Acquavella, confirmed the late artist died Wednesday evening following an illness. Acquavella described Freud as “as one of the great painters of the twentieth Century…He lived to paint and painted until the day he died, far removed from the noise of the art world.”
Although abstraction was the dominant trend in the art world, Freud remained committed to figurative painting. He is best known for his realist style, thick brushstrokes and intimate subject matter, which frequently included family and friends. His nude works, although Freud preferred the term “naked,” are among his most famous, including a portrait he did of a pregnant, nude Kate Moss called Naked Kate 2002. He has painted a wide variety of sitters including Francis Bacon, Jerry Hall and even the Queen.
