Another wonderful audiobook from Audible, written by Geordie Greig and narrated by John Standing.
This is a fascinating insight into one of the greatest painters in the history of modern art.
Unlike reading an exhibition catalog, this book offers very intimate accounts based on his interviews during a breakfast at Clark's, hence its title.
The author used to see a daughter of his second wife, Caroline. Pure coincidence, he insists.
Through all those intriguing stories in the book, we feel a bit closer to this otherwise ferociously private artist. I liked it a lot.
"I sometimes looked so hard at the subject that they would undergo involuntary magnification "
"If I concentrated enough, the intensity of scrutiny alone would force life into the pictures "
This is a good interview of the author by none other than Lynn Barber.
