Expressionism happened in the 20's, so its not that genre!.

From wiki:
Freud's early paintings are often associated with surrealism and depict people and plants in unusual juxtapositions!. These works are usually painted with quite thin paint, but from the 1950s he began to paint portraits, often nudes, to the almost complete exclusion of everything else, and began to use a thicker impasto!. With this technique he would often clean his brush after each stroke!. The colours in these paintings are typically muted!. Often Freud's portraits just depict the sitter, sometimes sprawled naked on the floor or on a bed, but sometimes the sitter is juxtaposed with something else, as in Girl With a White Dog and Naked Man With Rat!. Freud's subjects are often the people in his life; friends, family, fellow painters, lovers, children!. To quote the artist: "The subject matter is autobiographical, it's all to do with hope and memory and sensuality and involvement, really!."

"I paint people," Freud has said, "not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be!."

So there you go, hope that helps!. It is defiantly not expressionism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
