Known for his evocative and unflinching portrait paintings, Lucian Freud has come to be recognized as one of the most important figurative painters of the 20th century. Freud—grandson of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud—was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1922, but his family relocated to London, England, in 1933 to escape the rise of Adolph Hitler. Freud had begun making art as a small child before the relocation, and he began exhibiting at a very young age; a drawing from 1930, when the artist was eight, was shown at Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery in London in 1938, when he was only 16.

They are generally somber and thickly impastoed, often set in unsettling interiors and city scapes.
