Lucian Freud (artist)
Lucian Freud was a renowned British painter known for his intense, detailed portraits and figurative works. His style emphasizes realism, capturing the human form with raw honesty and often revealing vulnerability or emotional depth. Freud’s meticulous brushwork and focus on texture allow viewers to see the physicality of his subjects, sometimes depicting them in unflattering, honest ways. His work explores themes of identity, mortality, and the human condition. Active mainly in the 20th and 21st centuries, Freud is considered one of the most important portrait artists of his time, pushing the boundaries of realism and psychological insight.
