Over many years, Freud narrated to him the story of his life, â?~our novelâ?T. 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 tailorâ?Ts bills. Whether tattooing swallows at the base of Kate Mossâ?Ts back or exacting a strange and horrible revenge on Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, Freudâ?Ts 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 â?" and focussed instead on painting first and last.
