81, and so much younger than Damien Hirst

Highly appreciative Guardian review of the new Lucian Freud exhibition of 22 paintings, at The Wallace Collection (Manchester Square, London W1; March 31-April 18): 'Britain's greatest living artist', his work 'has none of the facile emotional posturing that appeals to the kind of institutional adman's taste, the bratty cynicism and quick-fix sensationalism that pervades the ('Fresh Blood' show at the) Saatchi collection'.
