  • Lucian Freud the Great - I think it's safe to say that Lucian Freud is the greatest living painter of the figure. Even his bad paintings are better than the best work of most other artists.
  • Lucien Freud Number One in Britain - The Great Art Fair in London has done a poll to find out the favorite artist of artists at the event. Lucien Freud has topped the list, with Leonardo nowhere to be seen in the top ten.
  • Lucian Freud Kate Moss - Earlier I posted about Lucian Freud's Kate Moss painting, and the image used (shown on the left) probably wasn't very flattering, or maybe people just genuinely don't like Freud. I was just under the impression that everyone loved Freud, and that there was nothing to criticize about the man's work.
  • Bella Freud by Lucian Freud - A softer, more tender nude by Lucien Freud will go up for auction at Christie's and is estimated to reach £2.2m.
  • Lucien Freud's Kate Moss - An unusual portrait for Lucien Freud of supermodel Kate Moss, estimated to be sold for £2,500,000-3,500,000 / $4,500,000-6,500,000 at a Christies auction has sold for 3.93 million pounds ($7.32 million).
  • Lucian Freud's Kate Moss Painting - Lucian Freud is arguably the greatest living painter of the human figure. His works command prices that reflect his respect in the art world and his painting of model Kate Moss will soon be up for auction.

Posts that have mentioned the British artist Lucian Freud

  • Banksy does Kate Moss - The British graffiti artist Banksy has been getting a lot of media attention in recent months by painting elephants and tampering with Paris Hilton CDs. He pokes fun at fame and uses it to his advantage, which has been good for sales of his work.
  • BP Portrait Award Winner - The winner was the English artist Andrew Tift with his "Kitty" entry. The sitter is Mrs Kitty Godley, the first wife of the painter Lucian Freud. So the experience of sitting for an artist probably wasn't new to her.
  • Marc Quinn to do Kate Moss - The painter Lucian Freud has also painted Kate Moss, which went on to sell for more than $7 million at a Christies art auction.
  • Rolf Harris's Portrait of the Queen - Australian expat Rolf Harris, now based in the United Kingdom caused a bit of a stir with his portrait of the Queen.. It's no Mona Lisa smile but is probably better than most British critics are saying about it. I would like to see someone like Georg Baselitz paint the queen. Lucian Freud has also painted her.
