Freud's self portrait
Wow. Freud's self portrait at (link no longer working - see portrait in next 2 posts)
is awesome. I'd seen some of his work before and didn't like it any better than I liked his portrait of the Queen.
However, his self portrait is sooooo exciting and "painterly" that I wonder if liking the subject matter (i.e., himself) inspires him to do better work.
I'm going to look at more of his paintings, maybe I judged him too quickly....
