Eli (2002)
Artist: Lucian Freud
Completion Date: 2002
Style: Expressionism
Technique: oil

Freud loved dogs (at home and on the dog-track), but not sentimentally or with any fellow-feeling:

"The only thing I don’t like about them is what’s called doglike devotion. Also, I have a hatred of habit and routine. And what dogs love is just that. They like regular everything, and I don’t have regular anything. I have a timetable, but no routine."-Lucian Freud
