LUCIAN FREUD (1922/2011), GERMAN PAINTER – Rejecting nothing to which you are naturally drawn.

When a painter must give a free rein to any feeling or sensations.

Here, where a famous figurative artist was born, waiting for you the masterpieces Berlin Museum (one of these items it’s the Pergamon Alter frieze, which was discovered in 1886). Something special? The Bode Museum, https://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/bode-museum/home.html is the home for art works of the Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque style. Its sculpture collection is one of Germany’s largest collections.

At a Christie’s New York auction in 2015, his portrait of Sue Tilley work sold for $56.2 million. He is rumoured to have fathered as many as forty children, and fourteen children have been identified (two from his first marriage, and 12 by various mistresses). He (the son of a Jewish architect and grandson of Sigmund Freud), was born in Berlin in a December day, but his family moved to Britain (to escape the rise of Nazism), where he attended Goldsmiths College, London. Then, during time LUCIAN FREUD had become figurative art artist. His works are noted for psychological penetration of the relationship between artist and model. His early career was influenced by surrealism, but by the early 1950s his paintings tended towards realism. They are generally sombre, often set in unsettling interiors and urban landscapes. Girl with a white dog (1951–1952, at the Tate Gallery), it’s portrait of his first wife.

To celebrate the British cultural figures of the last six decades, in 2012 he was among the British cultural icons selected to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork (the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. He painted fellow artists (a series of huge nude portraits from the mid-1990s depicted the very large “Big Sue”). In his later years, his prefered model was his studio assistant and friend David Dawson. Towards the end of his life LUCIAN FREUD did a nude portrait of model Kate Moss, becoming one of the best known British artists working in a representational style. He died in London on a July day and is buried in Highgate Cemetery.
