Lucian Freud is not only the most celebrated artist working in
England, but one of the most private. He has frequently stated his
reluctance to be photographed and he has almost never agreed to be
interviewed. Following the publication of the last ten years of his
work by Jonathan Cape in the autumn of 2005, the painter has agreed
to talk to Sebastian Smee, a writer on art whom he greatly
respects, in a series of conversations rather than formal
interviews. He wants to talk about painting itself, the demands of
his own work and the painters he admires. Two photographers have
had access to Freud's studio. The late Bruce Bernard was a friend
for many years and the subject of two of Freud's paintings. Bernard
was an authority on photography, a great picture editor, and also a
very fine photographer. He made a number of studies of Freud at
work. Over the last five years in particular, Freud's assistant,
the painter David Dawson, has been photographing the artist
constantly. The results reveal various stages of works in progress,
including paintings of Dawson himself, and the intensity of the
activity in this very secret domain. The only precedent to such a
document might be David Douglas Duncan's photographs of Picasso at
work, but nothing as extensive has been published on such a major
painter before.
