English Summary/英文概要：

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這是第一部真實記錄二十世紀最為偉大的英國現代派畫家非同凡響的一生的傳記。

盧西恩·弗洛伊德的藝術作品是能讓人一眼就能辨認出來：其畫風不但令人震驚，甚至會給人一種心理上的不安感，他所作的肖像畫傳遞出一種深刻而令人信服的不適感。有過兩次婚史且至少有十幾個孩子的他，傳聞與很多女性有過關係， — — 但他本人卻仍舊是一個謎。（在他有生之年，他曾設法防止關於自己的兩部傳記面世)，弗洛伊德的生活，就像他的畫作一樣，直到現在都還沒有任何直接的答案來給出定義。

在這本《与卢西恩的早餐》傳記中，作者基尼·克雷格，是幾位定期與這位大師在他生命最后几年裏共餐的密友之一 — — 作者向我們展示了這位二十世纪最為迷人、最為神秘畫師的尋常生活。解開了弗洛伊德的個性張揚的看似紛亂生活的真實一面。這本自傳取材於作者本人與弗洛伊德之間的私人閒聊，从這位畫家的初戀，到自己的赌博欠債，和畫作《委拉斯開茲》，以及作者對畫家的朋友、恋人，和一些以前从未公开谈论與畫家之间的关系的，弗洛伊德的孩子們的訪談記錄，這是一部深刻的個人回憶錄，同時也是對弗洛伊德藝術的一次直覺敏銳鑒賞。充滿著新鲜感、趣味，和深遠意義，《與盧西恩的早餐》是紀念我们這個时代最伟大的画家之一的珍藏。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：“Breakfast with Lucian, Geordie Greig’s juicy, eye-popping book about Lucian Freud . . . offers a fond but by no means whitewashed account of how Freud’s spectacularly messy life relates to his extraordinary body of work . . . Greig’s book, a rare case in which the text and illustrations are equally gripping, brings into sharp focus this bold iconoclast who ‘pushed boundaries, artistic as well as sexual.’ Even better, it makes us look more closely and deeply—and see more.” —Heller McAlpin, The Los Angeles Times

“Greig tells the astonishing story behind some of Freud’s most disturbing paintings and wryly observes that Freud and Sigmund, his famous grandfather, had a lot in common since it was also ‘Lucian’s business to get people to sit on beds or couches, and to reveal more about themselves than perhaps they wished to show.’ . . . Greig’s vivid, swiftly flowing, bracingly candid, alluringly illustrated chronicle of the exploits and accomplishments of this renowned renegade artist is as arresting, discomfiting, and unforgettable as a Freud portrait.” —Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)

“[An] admiring but acerbic biography of the painter . . . The Freud who emerges in this account is a slippery figure, not only for journalists who tried to explain him but also for his intimates.” —The New Yorker

“Lucian Freud was the greatest figurative painter of the 20th century, says Geordie Greig in his spirited new book, Breakfast with Lucian . . . [a] highly readable life of the artist . . . Mr Greig’s is a compelling portrait of a complete amoralist who became a monstre sacré.” —The Economist

“Greig interviewed Freud . . . and many of his intimates and tells an astonishing story of appetite and accomplishment. He follows the painter from childhood to the grave, fills the book with photographs of the author and his work, and expands our notion of the capabilities of the human male.” —Kirkus

“A compulsively readable life . . . Greig’s considerable powers as a tour guide of character, his well-trained eye for the detail along with his insightful study of art . . . [makes for] a riveting anecdotal portrait . . . Here is Freud from many facets: compulsive gambler, the underworld figure, the high-cultural Casanova, the social climber, the devious schemer, the affectionate dad. . . Breakfast with Lucian is a fond, fair-minded, thankfully non-judgmental and pretty full portrait of a person.” —Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times

“Geordie Greig, a journalist and close friend of Freud’s during the latter years of his life, provides an unobstructed view into the artist’s professional and private in his new memoir, Breakfast with Lucian . . . Greig delves into Freud’s rarely-discussed personal life, from his burning temper . . . to his excessive gambling . . . to his close friendship with Bacon.” —Erin Cunningham, The Daily Beast
