A searing memoir of Rose Boyt’s relationship with her father, the renowned artist Lucian Freud.
A Guardian Top 50 Summer Read
'I ended up reading it in one sitting, well into the early hours of the following day' - The Observer
'An evocative tale of coming of age in London in the 1980s . . . So much life worth telling' - TLS
In Naked Portrait Rose Boyt explores her complicated relationship with her beloved father, Lucian Freud, through her diary and other accounts of sitting for him, naked or otherwise. Enthralled by his genius, it was only after his death that she began to question the version of events she had come to accept. The shock of the truth is profound but what emerges is her love and compassion not just for herself as a vulnerable young woman, but for the man himself, who is shown in all his brilliant complexity.
'I can’t think of an art book with an opening page like it. Lines land like detonation . . . The writing is hypnotic and propulsive . . . It’s so powerful’ - The Sunday Times

Rose Boyt was born in London and as a child lived on a cargo ship trading in the Baltic and beyond. With her mother and siblings she emigrated to the Caribbean, but the family was repatriated. She left home when she was fifteen and in the seventies began to take photographs and had a Saturday job at the punk shop Seditionaries. In the eighties she worked as a DJ and on the door of the Café De Paris, and is the author of three novels.
