OBSERVER 'Mesmerising ... the ideal companion to Freud's work'
GUARDIAN William Feaver, Lucian Freud's collaborator, curator and
close friend, knew the unknowable artist better than most. Over
many years, Freud narrated to him the story of his life, 'our
novel'. Fame follows Freud at the height of his powers, painting
the most iconic works of his career in a constant and dissatisfied
pursuit of perfection, just outrunning his gambling debts and
tailor's bills. Whether tattooing swallows at the base of Kate
Moss's back or exacting a strange and horrible revenge on Jerry
Hall and Mick Jagger, Freud's adventures were always perfectly
characteristic. An enfant terrible till the end, even as he was
commissioned to paint the Queen and attended his own
retrospectives, what emerges is an artist wilfully oblivious to the
glitter of the world around - and focussed instead on painting
first and last.
