Lucian Freud
More Charlie Rose goodness
Lucian’s art dealer and friend (art critic) were so adorable talking about their friend. Their affection was infectious. Maybe people just get giddy about talking about flesh.
The dealer complained about posing
how SLOW and long a portrait takes
(Lucian mixes a new color for every stroke! )
and then said it wasn’t EVEN done yet
so he had to go back for ANOTHER two week stretch
———-and then said “I loved every minute of it.”
Lucian, at 80, is evidently in love with a horse.
He has to wear silk ski underwear and drive out with assistant for 45 minutes to visit his love
Lucian says he never goes out but that isn’t quite true.
How did young Lucian differentiate the sex of an eel? Asked his grandfather.
