Media Reviews
'One of the best books about art, and the making of art, that I have ever read' - Julian Barnes
'Freud is vividly surprising, potent and dynamic ... a portrait of an anarchic painter with views on everything from Leonardo’s failings to Princess Margaret’s voice' - Observer
'If it is Freud who dominates this book, it is Gayford’s achievement to bring him out and to do so with wit and humour as well as acute intelligence ... literally inimitable' - Guardian
