What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A massive Phaidon performance.’ - The Times
‘Comprehensive, scholarly and beautifully crafted.’ - Country & Townhouse
‘A comprehensive look at Freud’s seven decade career.’ - Hypebeast
Praise for the 2018 two-volume edition:
‘Stunning … Sure to delight those in search of a full picture of the artist’s output. - Artists & Illustrators
‘There is a precision and grandeur about this new monograph […] that is all of a piece with Freud’s modus operandi. […] Gayford draws on his own back catalogue and the established sources […] to weave a fluent text that is footnote-free and cautiously expansive […] Freud steps forward into sharper focus than we have seen before. We see more of the methodology by which he achieved a genius-reputation approaching that of his famous grandfather, creating a new genre of self-projecting portraiture while keeping his secrets close.’ - Times Literary Supplement
