Drawn from almost 40 years of conversations with the artist, letters and papers, it is a major work written by British art critic William Feaver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an extremely intimate, lively and rich portrait of the artist, full of gossip and stories recounted by Freud to Feaver about people, encounters, and work. Freud’s art was his life—”my work is purely autobiographical”—and he usually painted only family, friends, lovers, children, though there were exceptions like the famous small portrait of the Queen. With his later portraits, the subjects were often nude, names were never given and sittings could take up to 16 months, each session lasting five hours but subjects were rarely bored as Freud was a great raconteur and mimic. This book is a major achievement, a tour de force that reveals the details of the life and innermost thoughts of the greatest portrait painter of our time. Volume I has 41 black and white integrated images, and 2 eight-page color inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublished: USA, 2019\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Alfred a Knopf Inc\u003cbr\u003ePages: 682\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780525657521\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0525657525\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-link-wrap opened\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Feaver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49860343791882,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780525657521.jpg?v=1725118549","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-lives-of-lucian-freud-the-restless-years-1922-1968","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
