LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE
Selected as BOOK OF THE YEAR by GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, THE TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, MAIL ON SUNDAY, FINANCIAL TIMES, NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR
THE SUNDAY TIMES ART BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020
'Extremely enjoyable, full of life and art... A central figure as wild and captivating as any character in literature' - CRAIG BROWN
William Feaver, collaborator, curator, and close friend of Lucian Freud, knew the enigmatic artist better than most. Over many years, Freud recounted to him the story of his life, 'our novel'.
Reputation follows Freud to the height of his powers, painting the most iconic works of his career in an unrelenting quest for perfection, barely escaping his debts and tailor's bills. Whether tattooing swallows at the base of Kate Moss's back or imposing a strange revenge on Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, Freud's escapades were always distinctive.
An enfant terrible to the end, even when commissioned to paint the Queen, what emerges is an artist utterly indifferent to the world's glamour around him – and focused first and last on painting.
'A dazzling tour de force' - THE TIMES
'A wonderfully lively chronicle' - OBSERVER
'Does justice to Freud's fierce genius' - DAILY MAIL
