Lucian Freud (1922 – 2011) was one of the most influential artists of his generation and hailed as the ‘greatest living realist painter’.

Freud’s commitment to realism, and particularly to the human figure, was often controversial. Always creating debate, Freud consistently addressed questions of human existence and perception, testing, through a sustained practice of looking, the possibility of knowing and recording human individuality.
