The interview, conducted by Leigh Bowery, explores Freud’s working life, restlessness, and how increasing weakness changes his drive. It addresses aging, the value of minor debilities, and his approach to working from people rather than photographs. The conversation also discusses perceptions of misogyny and Freud’s views shaped by intimacy with his subjects, including the idea of reconstructing whole narratives from a single detail.",{"@graph":14,"@context":77},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/lucian-freud-recent-drawings-and-etchings-art-and-love/433520/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/lucian-freud-recent-drawings-and-etchings-art-and-love/433520.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Margaret","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69,73],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"How does Lucian Freud describe his typical day and sleep?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"He says he seldom truly sleeps, describing nights as periods of daydreaming.

 \nLucian Freud:I can't say when I normally wake up because I amseldom really asleep,just daydreaming at night.The time I wakeup bears little relation to when I've gone to bed.  \nYou work very long hours.Has this always been the case?  \nNo.I've gradually worked longer as I've gotten weaker.  \n## What do you mean weaker?\n\nFading strength-it makes me drive myself harder.But I've neverlacked staying power.I was just very,very restless and I've got in-creasingly caught up with my work.  \n## Do you think that's a bonus of aging?\n\nI can't tell yet.  \n## Can you think ofanything good about getting older?\n\nNot showing it,but then that's not good in itself.I don't meanyouthfulness,but I think it's quite good to have something to pushagainst-minor debilities like my elbow and stuff.  \n## Andwhat about the wisdom that comes with age?\n\nThere's no fool like an old fool.  \n## Do you ever use photographs when you work?\n\nYes.I have done,but only to do with people I knew so well thattheir presence in photographs was a reminder of them rather thanan introductory thing.I realize why it doesn't help me-it's becausephotographic information is almost entirely to do with light,andyou recognize people in the photographs through how they catchthe light.I'm more interested in what's inside their heads.That'swhy I prefer working from people Iknow.  \n## What else is important whenyou work?\n\nTo make myself as sensitive and pliable as I can to the tempera-ment and nature of the people I work from.  \nYou've been called amisogynist.Do you know why?  \nOne of the classical instincts of the human idiot is to take a singlebone and to reconstruct the whole animal from it.  \n## What do people see inyour work that theyfind misogynistic?\n\nThrough my intimacy with the people I portray,I may have depict-ed aspects of them which they find intrusive.  \n## Is finding misogyny in your work a recent thing?\n\nI think the idea of misogyny is a stimulant to feminists,and it'srather like anti-Semites looking for Jewish noses everywhere  \n## Do you have anyfeminist fans?\n\nMy daughter Esther,or doesn't that count?Also,I'm a feminist,but I'm not sure to what degree I'm my fan.  \nYou've worked from your lovers a lot.Yes,but you can't do two things at once.","cbCainhSUNcNBn71","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainhSUNcNBn71","pdf",2587510,"English","# Recent Drawings and Etchings\n## What do you mean weaker?\n## Do you think that's a bonus of aging?\n## Can you think of anything good about getting older?\n## And what about the wisdom that comes with age?\n## Do you ever use photographs when you work?\n## What else is important when you work?\n## What do people see in your work that they find misogynistic?\n## Is finding misogyny in your work a recent thing?\n## Do you have any feminist fans?\n## You've worked from your lovers a lot.","[{\"question\":\"How does Lucian Freud describe his typical day and sleep?\",\"answer\":\"He says he seldom truly sleeps, describing nights as periods of daydreaming.
