Lucian Freud, towering figure in the art world for more than 50 years, died at his home in London after an illness last night at the age of 88.
Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate, said: “The vitality of his nudes, the intensity of the still life paintings and the presence of his portraits of family and friends guarantee Lucian Freud a unique place in the pantheon of late 20th century art.”
His works have been displayed at some of the world’s most prestigious galleries, and some have recently fetched millions of pounds at auction.
See some examples of his work below:





Love or hate his work, he definitely made his impression on the art/design world.
RIP Freud.
