Still nearly 6 hours in my time-zone, Yoshiharu, but all the best for 2002 nonetheless.
Before this posting I was unaware of Lucian Freud, and the Queen's portrait did nothing to endear me to him, but ...
The self-portrait you linked us to is absolutely shattering! The power and vitality is palatable. I was blown away. The brush work is so aggresive it verges on sculpture. How an artist who could produce such a master-work should foist such a farce as this Queen-thing baffles me!
