SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2019
SELECTED AS BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES, DAILY
TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN, SUNDAY TIMES, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
AND SPECTATOR 'A compendium of high-grade gossip about everyone
from Princess Margaret to the Krays, a snapshot of grimy London and
a narrative of Freud's career and rackety life and loves ... Leaves
the reader itching for more' SUNDAY TIMES, ART BOOK OF THE YEAR
Though ferociously private, Lucian Freud spoke every week for
decades to his close confidante and collaborator William Feaver -
about painting and the art world, but also about his life and
loves. The result is this a unique, electrifying biography. In
Youth, Feaver conjures Freud's early childhood: Sigmund Freud's
grandson, born into a middle-class Jewish family in Weimar Berlin,
escaping Nazi Germany in 1934. Following Freud through art school,
his time in the Navy during the war, his post-war adventures in
Paris and Greece, and his return to Soho - consorting with
duchesses and violent criminals, out on the town with Greta Garbo
and Princess Margaret - Feaver traces a brilliant, difficult young
man's coming of age. 'Brilliant ... Freud would have approved'
DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Superlative ... packed with stories' GUARDIAN
'Anyone interested in British art needs it' ANDREW MARR, NEW
