Cleaning the studio made me feel special, downtrodden and loved for all the
wrong reasons. The floor was marked with a brush and thinned paint to establish
the position of any furniture that was in use, the painted hieroglyphics of no
particular colour but indelible so that everything could be repositioned and put
back between sittings, all the functional lines alive and purposeful like his
handwriting.
In Naked Portrait Rose Boyt explores her complicated relationship with her
beloved father, Lucian Freud, through her diary and other accounts of sitting
for him, naked or otherwise. Enthralled by his genius, it was only after his
death that she began to question the version of events she had come to accept.
The shock of the truth is profound but what emerges is her love and compassion
not just for herself as a vulnerable young woman, but for the man himself, who
is shown in all his brilliant complexity.
