The man who made me fall in love with Nudes...





Lucian Michael Freud was a British painter. Known chiefly for his thickly impacted portrait and figure paintings, he was widely considered the pre-eminent British artist of his time. His works are noted for their psychological penetration, and for their often discomforting examination of the relationship between artist and model. He died on 20th July 2011 at the age of 88.

The best thing about his nudes, despite being very realistic, is not offensive or dirty. It is creativity at its peak. And I owe a lot to him as an artist myself.

May your soul rest in peace.
