Lucian Freud (1922-2011) is recognized as a pivotal figurative painter of his era. Known for his compelling portraits and nudes, Freud employed impasto techniques to build depth and intensity. He often utilized a restrained palette of muted colors. His works are characterized by their honest, frank, and unapologetic portrayal of subjects, reflecting his philosophy: "I paint people, not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be."
