I'm sorry I didn't know of him or his work.

Not a big fan of his fat ugly naked people, but the other things are interesting :)

I found a fantastic video on You Tube,interviews with the people he painted, all friends and family. The narrator is good, gets out of the way and lets the people talk without being cross examined. Embedded on my blog:

Thank you very much for the video. I watched the first 2 parts, will watch the rest mañana. Absolutely fascinating.

You're welcome. I thought it one of the best I've seen. Hockney was so right: nothing will replace painting. Sadly, I've never see Freud's work in person, an experience to look forward to.
