Header Photo: Low resolution detail from the cover of the important 2015 Tate book, Lucian Freud (British Artists Series). This in turn is the Lucian Freud painting. Girl with a Kitten, 1947. The only other time I've seen comparable sheer beauty (outside of these Freud portraits of the same, hypnotic woman) is in Botticelli's Portrait of a Young Woman.

Freud also painted Sue Tilley in Benefits Supervisor Sleeping. She was introduced to Freud by Leigh Bowery, who she'd written a biography about, Leigh Bowery: The Life and Times of an Icon.

Recommended: The best book for latter period of Freud's output is the 2005 book Lucian Freud: 1996 - 2005.
