The grandson of Sigmund Freud died

The grandson of the founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, the artist Lucien Freud, known for his portraits, died at the age of 88, CNN reports with reference to his agent William Aquavella.

“My family and I mourn on Lucien Freud not only as one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, but also as a very expensive friend. Its portraits and landscapes are made with deep insight, dramatism and energy. In communication, it was an exciting, witty, but modest and warm person. But he lived to draw, but died far from the world of art, ”Aquavella said.

Freud’s paintings were sold at auctions for record amounts. So in 2008, his painting “The advantage of a sleeping observer” was sold at Christie's auction in New York for $ 33.6 million.
