I'm surprised that nobody has posted this, Lucien Freud died yesterday.

He was my close friend's step-father.

Brilliant painter, sad times.

If this has already been posted and I'm being moronic feel free to delete.

I differ in this respect.

Awful work with little artistic value, as far as I'm concerned. But then what do I know?

RIP all the same.

Realist work is, by it's nature, not all that visually appealing.

Overrated. He was just a decent artist who got fame because of his connections with his equally worthless grandfather Sigmund Freud.

Well, probably not actually!

How the Hell did "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping" sell for so much?

I quite liked some of his work.

RIP

I doubt I'd know if it weren't for my mum being a huge art buff...

Sounds like a space ship off "Firefly".
