Over many years, Freud narrated to him the story of his life, our novel. 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 tailors bills. Whether tattooing swallows at the base of Kate Mosss back or exacting a strange and horrible revenge on Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, Freuds 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 aroundand focussed instead on painting first and last.
