Lucien Freud - grandson of the famous psychiatrist, founder of the practice of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Relationship with a man already gives reason to assume that the realism of Lucian Freud is different from what is usually meant by the word. And this is indeed the case.

Lucien Freud was born on December 8, 1922 in Berlin. His father, the youngest son of Sigmund Freud, an architect by profession, married the daughter of a wealthy timber merchant and the family lived in luxury, if not, then in sufficient wealth: the apartment in one of the best areas of Berlin, an estate near the city of Cottbus and summer vacations on the coast of the North Sea. When, in 1933, seized power in Germany, Hitler, Freud family moved to England, to London.

When the war ended, Lucien Freud took a workshop in London and began the life of the free artist. It should be noted right away that the young artist decided to become a bohemian: the workshop it was in fact the poor side of town. Apparently, this is a spoiled young man attracted to a child poverty and neglect. And it was kind of negation of bourgeois prosperity, calling the company.

The art critic John Russell wrote in the early 60s, that Lucien Freud made in his portraits of the artist's new attitude to its models: the ratio of investigators to the person under investigation.

In the United States, the country's business optimism, speaking in New York, American critic Hilton Kramer titled his review so - "King of Freud was naked" (in Andersen's fairy tale). Over time, the ratio of Freud's creativity has changed for the better, although for many art lovers, it somehow does not fit into the history of modern art.

From his biography we learn, however, that he was considered one of the most interesting people in London. He was married twice, first marriage to the granddaughter of the famous English sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein, the second time - on the English aristocrat. Both marriages ended in divorce, but there were children, one of which must be added and the illegitimate children of the artist's many novels.

[QUOTE="Кирилл Сызранский;3426321"]at the may auction Post-War & Contemporary Evening Sale in Newarke@
Held on 13 may 2015 in new York auction of postwar and contemporary art Christie's is set 14 world records prices for works by artists.
Only the auction raised $658 million, which significantly exceeds the stated estimate.

Top-lot auction was the painting of Mark Rothko No. 10 (1958), who went for $81 million
His auction records have updated Lucien Freud, Robert Rauschenberg, Hans Hoffman, Robert Riemann, Helen N. Sturtevant, Giovanni Anselmo, Rudolf Stingel and Carroll Dunham.
Great attention to this auction was riveted because of the fact that it sold things from legendary collection Ileana Sonnabend.
Brett Gorvi, head of the international Department of postwar and contemporary art Christie's, believes that "response that caused this evening proves the sophistication, depth of knowledge and the pursuit of competition many of our best customers".

Beautiful, I guess? Was it not known?

Very, unless, of course, the definition of "beautiful" suitable to the works of Rothko.
