Lucian Freud Portraits (Pt.2) - Documentary

Unprecedented, intimate and revealing, this film weaves interviews with a large selection of work by one of the great artists of our century.

Lucian Freud 'Portraits' is an analysis of the artist as seen through the eyes of those who have been best placed to study him - his sitters. Over a period of two years, film-maker Jake Auerbach and Freud's biographer William Feaver filmed many of Freud's subjects, ranging from the late Duke of Devonshire and the now Dowager Duchess of Devonshire to fellow painters David Hockney and Celia Paul; from friends such as Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles to ex-lovers, daughters and grand-daughters. -  artcaltal, YouTube

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School

•WHAT IS DR. SKETCHY'S ANTI-ART SCHOOL?

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art school is the world's premier alt.drawing movement. Artists draw glamorous underground performers in an atmosphere of boozy conviviality. Found in 2005 in a dive bar in Brooklyn, Dr. Sketchy's has now spread to over 100 cities around the world.

•WHO STARTED DR. SKETCHY'S?

Dr. Sketchy's was founded in 2005 by artists Molly Crabapple and A.V. Phibes. It's been run solely by Molly Crabapple (and her cadre of awesome helpers) since early '06. You can see more of Molly's art at www.mollycrabapple.com

•WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THE DR. SKETCHY'S ANTI-ART SCHOOL NAME? WHAT ARE ART MONKEYS?

Dr. Sketchy's is a corrupt Viennese doctor of our invention. Anti-Art School we chose because we were bad art students. "Art Monkey" was nicked from a late night we spent building steel weasels with New York's legendary Madagascar institute.

•WHO GOES TO DR. SKETCHY'S?

Lots of people. Fancy pants gallery artists, art students, dog walkers, jewelry designers, tattoo artists, illustrators and cubicle slaves. We have about 40% non-professional artists. Slightly more girls attend than boys.  - Dr. Sketchy's web site
