<b>SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2019</b><b>SELECTED AS BOOK OF THE YEAR BY <i>THE TIMES</i>, <i>FINANCIAL TIMES</i>, <i>DAILY TELEGRAPH</i>, <i>NEW STATESMAN</i>, <i>SUNDAY TIMES, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT</i> AND <i>SPECTATOR</i> 'A compendium of high-grade gossip about everyone from Princess Margaret to the Krays, a snapshot of grimy London and a narrative of Freud's career and rackety life and loves . Leaves the reader itching for more' <i>SUNDAY TIMES, </i>ART BOOK OF THE YEAR </b> Though ferociously private, Lucian Freud spoke every week for decades to his close confidante and collaborator William Feaver - about painting and the art world, but also about his life and loves. The result is this a unique, electrifying biography. In <i>Youth</i>, Feaver conjures Freud's early childhood: Sigmund Freud's grandson, born into a middle-class Jewish family in Weimar Berlin, escaping Nazi Germany in 1934. Following Freud through art school, his time in the Navy during the war, his post-war adventures in Paris and Greece, and his return to Soho - consorting with duchesses and violent criminals, out on the town with Greta Garbo and Princess Margaret - Feaver traces a brilliant, difficult young man's coming of age. <b>'Brilliant . Freud would have approved' <i>DAILY TELEGRAPH</i> 'Superlative . packed with stories' <i>GUARDIAN</i></b><b><i>'</i>Anyone interested in British art needs it' ANDREW MARR,<i> NEW STATESMAN</i></b>
