'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
