Room 8
Ib and her Husband 1992
'Ib' is the nick-name of Isobel Boyt, Freud's daughter.
Freud had painted her as a young child, in the late 1960s, in
Large Interior, Paddington 1968-9, where she was shown
lying on the floor of her father's studio beside an enormous plant.
Here she poses once again in Freud's studio, this time with her husband.
The paint on the wall above the radiator is the accumulated scrapings which Freud removed from his canvas, wiped
from his brush, and pasted onto any wall that was within reach. |
