Maureen Mullarkey reviews a new biography of Lucian Freud . It is not a very good biography and she amusingly shows why. It s a model of such writing for those of you interested in writing. I particularly liked the phrase “museum-quality finesse” in ”Gayford disinfects Freud’s affinities with museum-quality finesse.”
Recent “On the Square” articles of hers are The Popular Myth of Convivenicia , a review of a show at the Museum of Biblical Art; Selected Watercolors from James Tissot’s Life of Christ ; and Faith Behind Glass .
