Lucian Freud, David Hockney, 2002 DH: his palette is perhaps eight colors. He never put the tops back on the tubes so the paint cakes up on them and he flicks this off on the wall with a swipe. He has been doing this on the studio wall for the last 40 years.

He’s wearing very un-David colours, isn’t he? I don’t like it very much but then I’m not a Freud fan. I do like this photograph though: I always feel that Freud should be wearing a blood-stained apron as if he’s just stepped in from a butcher’s shop
