Lucien Freud, the grandson of Sigmund Freud, was born December 8, 1992 in Berlin and died July 21, 2011 in London. A true bohemian, his subject was humanity itself and he captured the vulnerability of his sitters in his studies. “I work from the people that interest me, and that I care about, in rooms that I live in and I know,” he said. He is considered one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century.
