Santa, news of the death - it's always news of the death ...
Since the deceased was a public figure of the modern world , and even received all in life , I suppose , the famous " or anything ..." it is spread not . To me, his nudes impasto ( smothered in coloring ) somehow always seemed to me coarse and very decorative with respect to the background. I thought that there was little harmony . Maybe he was not inside her . But in any case , I do not lift up his nudes ... He was a contemporary artist to express the sense , especially for his age , lack of interest in the interest of the viewer. It is very readable. And, in moderation, but pathological . I've come to pathology , such as ... not really.
Rest in peace, Lucien Freud ...

artist, I have nothing to object to you ..

You, as always, to reach for my height :)>

Decided to add ..

A. Freud, this is not my ..

And of course, let rest in peace ..

Accidentally caught the end of the interview (usually do not watch news, especially in the morning) with a "Big Sue" (his model) and did not understand why all the time: "was", "was" ("was", that is).
The interview was very bright ...


He died last great British realist ....

One of my favorite artists!
It is a pity ...

I've never been a fan of his work, but it is certainly a symbolic figure in the art of the past few decades.
With the departure of each of these people leave something else.
 
Type "step time".
I understand that pathetic.
:shy:>

Great artist.
And like any genius can not be clear to all now, but no doubt will be highly appreciated by future generations.

 
What is interesting, the pathology?
(Vernee. What do you mean by abnormal?)

(Please, if not more difficult)

You can deal more effectively (pliiiz!)?

(I think this is a very interesting point!)

Well, if we recall that the root of "pathology" - the Greek word páthos / suffering, passion, sense of ...
Maybe, maybe ...

As an artist, he did nothing of himself had no idea it was even less than zero.

The most striking phenomenon of Comrade.
L. Freud - that's how that carrion may bite people today ...
