RIP Lucian Freud

Lucien Freud passed away yesterday aged 88. Form this heartsinking news it has come to my attention to explain why his life and work has meant so much to me. Freud's life has been pretty remarkable. He was born into an infamous family, his father Sigmund who fathered several children and found feeling in his artwork, who could manipulate paint in no other way that the first time I saw one of his work he bought a tear to my eye, and told stories with his work-something that I believe deserves great respect. 

I hope his work will be celebrated posthumously.
