Pic shows: Howard Hodgkin exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.

"Portrait of the artist listening to music"

Last picture before he died earlier this month. A self portrait painted in his last weeks of life held up from his wheelchair by an assistant and painted partly with his bare hands.

He was listening to Jerome Kern's "The last time I saw Paris."

the first exhibition of portraits by Howard Hodgkin (1932-2017), one of Britain’s greatest artists.
