A painting by the British artist Lucian Freud is now the top-selling postcard at the Tate Britain gallery in London. The sales of Freud's Girl with a White Dog have now overtaken the previous top-selling work of art, 1 which was Ophelia, by John Everett Millais. Lucian Freud, 2 whose grandfather Sigmund Freud is known as the father of psychoanalysis, was born in Berlin. The family moved to England in the 1930s, when his father, 3 who was an architect, decided to escape the threat of Hitler's Germany. Lucian Freud, 4 which paintings sell for huge sums of money, is regarded as one of the world's most brilliant figurative artists. He tends to concentrate on portraits, 5 which subjects are often friends or relatives. These nonprofessional models, many of who _ remain anonymous, are painted with an intensity that is often shocking and disturbing. Although he works in a figurative style, Freud's work cannot be categorized easily. His importance, 7 which had been recognized for a long time in Britain, turned into super-celebrity status after a retrospective exhibition & which was held in Washington, DC in 1987. Robert Hughes, ' who_ was the art critic for TIME magazine, described Freud as the greatest living realist painter! Even more fame came later, when a portrait by Freud sold for £7.86 million at an auction in 2007. The painting, 10 which is a 1992 portrait of his friend Bruce Bernard, broke the record for a work sold by a living European artist.
