FREUD LUCIAN: (1922-2011) British painter. A good A.L.S., Lucian, one page, 8vo, Delamere Terrace, London, n.d., to the bookmaker Ben Miller (´Dear Benno´). Freud thanks Miller for their kind letter and continues to reflect on his current shortage of disposable income, ´My temporary lack of "ammunition" is responsible for my absence from the office, it saddens me to see others indulging in a favorite pursuit when obliged to take the part of "onlooker" ´ and in concluding makes a reference to the subject of one of his portraits, ´I will telephone you tomorrow to discuss the matter of Lady Lamton´s (sic) account´ and suggesting that they might be able to meet over the weekend. Annotated to the verso in red crayon with a five times table. Some minor overall creasing and a couple of light water stains only slightly affecting a couple of letters of text, otherwise about VGIn his book Breakfast with Lucian: A Portrait of the Artist (2013), the journalist Geordie Greig, a friend of the painter, observed ´Gambling was inherently linked to Lucian's painting. Whenever he made money from selling his pictures in the earlier part of his career, he gambled wildly, often losing the lot; yet when he began to make vast sums, he gave up gambling almost entirely. Risk fed his enjoyment of more risk, so when a financial safety net appeared as the price of his pictures soared, the relishing of gambling disappeared. When he had run up mountainous debts, death threats were made by unsavoury lenders. He would pay what was owed, when he could´.Belinda Bridget ´Bindy´ Blew-Jones (1921-2003) Lady Lambton, wife of the British aristocrat and politician Antony Lambton, Viscount Lambton (1922-2006). Lady ´Bindy´Lambton was the subject of Freud´s portrait Head on a Green Sofa which was executed in 1960-61.
