| Summary: | "One of Britain's pre-eminent postwar painters and among the most internationally collected of living artists, Frank Auerbach has spent all of his adult life in London and delights in the city's colours and forms. Both his oil paintings and his drawings reveal the intense observation and furious mark-making that he employs to arrive at the essence of his subjects." "This book is published to accompany a major retrospective held at the Royal Academy of Arts to mark Auerbach's seventieth year. Norman Rosenthal considers Auerbach's paintings in the contexts of London and of Western art. Catherine Lampert, curator of the exhibition, contributes an essay on the painter and his sitters, and Isabel Carlisle introduces each of the four sections of catalogue plates. The book illustrates in full colour many works in private collections, providing the most comprehensive survey in print of Auerbach's unique and compelling work."--BOOK JACKET. |
