Freud studied briefly at the Central School of Art in London then, with larger success, at Cedric Morris’s East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Dedham. Thereafter, he served as a merchant sea-man in an Atlantic convoy in 1941 previous to being invalided out of service in 1942.

Since then he has live and worked in London.
Freud’s early paintings are frequently associated with surrealism and depict people and plants in strange juxtapositions. These works are typically painted with quite thin paint, but from the 1950s he began to paint portraits, frequently nudes, to the approximately complete exclusion of everything else, and began to use a thicker impasto. The colors’ in these paintings are naturally muted.
