Remembering Lucien Freud

One of the greatest portrait painters of the 20th century Lucien Freud has died aged 88. Famous for his nudes and his true to life portraits he became know at age just 21 when he had his first one man show in 1947. Lucien Freud was well know through out the art world as I was growing up throughout my college years Lucien Freud's work was studied many times and became the subject of much art banter visited his collections in London galleries and practically grew up with him in my head he was in fact a legend of 20th century British art.

Lucien inspired a lot of our figurative work. The study was sometimes based on his grandfather Sigmund freud. Have you ever tried creative writing? Its where you take some paper and write and write without stopping. It was way back during my early years I was 18 at the time. The task for that day was explore the drawings that were created from a creative writing lesson. Im sure that the Dada movement and the surrealists were inspired by the late sigmund freud. His death marks the end of a part of my life and the end of an era. The very last of the greatest 20th century painters

He will forever be remembered as an art legend. RIP Lucien
