David jon kassan - visual artist - paint. Francis Bacon. Lucian Freud. Lucian Michael Freud, OM, CH (/ˈlʊ.siː.ən ˈfrɔɪd/; 8 December 1922 – 20 July 2011)[1] was a German-born British painter.
Known chiefly for his thickly impastoed portrait and figure paintings, he was widely considered the pre-eminent British artist of his time.[2] His works are noted for their psychological penetration, and for their often discomforting examination of the relationship between artist and model.[3] Early life and family[edit] Born in Berlin, Freud was the son of a German Jewish mother, Lucie (née Brasch), and an Austrian Jewish father, Ernst L. Gustav Klimt. Life and work[edit] Early life and education[edit] Gustav Klimt was born in Baumgarten, near Vienna in Austria-Hungary, the second of seven children—three boys and four girls.
His mother, Anna Klimt (née Finster), had an unrealized ambition to be a musical performer. His father, Ernst Klimt the Elder, formerly from Bohemia, was a gold engraver. All three of their sons displayed artistic talent early on. Tom Bennett.
