FREUD, LUCIAN

FREUD, LUCIAN
FREUD, LUCIAN (1922– ), English painter, grandson of sigmund freud . Freud, who was born in Berlin, the son of an architect, was brought to London in 1933 with his parents. He was naturalized in 1939 and began to work full time as an artist after being discharged from the merchant navy in 1942. His Interior at Paddington won a prize at the Festival of Britain, putting him on the artistic map. In 1954 he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. His work was often German in its influence and style, and closely resembled the later German expressionists in the Gothic intensity of his portraiture. His subject matter was largely portraits, nudes, and interiors. Freud is widely regarded as one of the greatest figurative artists of recent times, and is one of the best-known artists in contemporary Britain; his work was represented at most major galleries of modern art. He was made a Companion of Honour (CH) in 1993 and a member of the Order of Merit (OM) in 2002. He produced a book about his own work, Lucian Freud, in 1996. -ADD. BIBLIOGRAPHY: W. Feaver, Lucian Freud (1997); R. Hughes, Lucian Freud (2002).
