A visual chronicle of Lucian Freud's relationship with Caroline Blackwood (on display at Ordovas) causes Michael Ajerman to recall the ever-true words – it sucks when it's over.

| Girl In Bed (1952) |
It has been a little more than four
years to the day since the passing of Lucian Freud. Articles continue to gossip
(how many kids?!) and curators squint and crunch. Refreshingly, Ordovas provides
an antidote and presents the highly focused show, Girl. Visually chronicling the relationship
between Freud and his second wife, Caroline Blackwood. As viewers we
plunge into their lives and world within the four paintings on display.
