<p><font size="1"> <b> Freud painting is top Tate card - 19/12/02<br>
</b>A painting by British artist Lucian Freud has emerged as the
top-selling postcard at the Tate Britain in London in 2002. <br>
<br>
Freud's Girl With White Dog has been a big seller after the gallery
ran a three-month retrospective of Freud's work. <br>
<br>
The painting, which is 50 years old, shows the artist's first wife
Kitty Epstein lying with her left breast exposed and a dog on her
lap. <b><br>

<br>
Freud's portrait of Kate - 03/05/09<br>
</b>Kate Moss was revealed to the world in all her pregnant glory
this weekend, when Lucian Freud unveiled his nude portrait of her.
Entitled Naked Portrait 2002, the painting is thought to be on its
way to the artist's dealer in New York. <br>
<br>
Friends of Kate, however, say that she is keen to keep the portrait,
which is worth in the region of �1 million and was painted during
a sequence of late night sittings throughout her pregnancy. <b></b><br>
<br>
<br>
Lucian Freud, was born 8 December 2020 in Berlin, a grandson of
Sigmund Freud, he came to England with his parents in 1931, and
acquired British nationality in 1939. He began to work full time
as an artist after being invalided out of the Merchant Navy in 1942.<br>
<br>
In 1938/39 Freud studied at the Central School of Arts in London;
from 1939 to 1942 at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing
in Debham run by Cedric Morris; in 1942/43 at Goldsmiths' College,
London (part-time). <br>
<br>
In 1946/47 he painted in Paris and Greece. Freud had work published
in Horizon magazine in 1939 and 1943. In 1944 his paintings were
hung at the Lefevre Gallery. Between 1949 and 1954 he was a visiting
tutor at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. <br>
<br>
In 1951 his Interior at Paddington (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool)
won a prize at the Festival of Britain, and since then he has built
up a reputation as one of the most powerful contemporary figurative
painters. Portraits and nudes are his specialties. <br>
<br>
In 1948 he married Kitty Garman, daughter of the British sculptor
Jacob Epstein. In 1952 he married Caroline Blackwood. Freud had
a studio in Paddington for 30 years before moving to one in Holland
Park. <br>
<br>
His first retrospective exhibition, organised by the Arts Council
of Great Britain, was held in 1974 at the Hayward Gallery in London.</font></p>
