Lucian Freud dies at 88
Tributes have been paid to the British artist, Lucian Freud, who has died at his home in London at the age of 88.
A grandson of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, he was born in Berlin in 1922 and moved with his family to England in the early 1930s to escape Nazi persecution.
The Tate Gallery said his early paintings redefined British art and his later works stand comparison with the great figurative painters of any period.
William Acquavella, Freud’s New York-based art dealer, said he would mourn Freud ‘as one of the great painters of the 20th century’.
