Frank Auerbach obituary
Briefly

Auerbach's artistic process involved wrestling his subjects from chaos, resulting in a distinctive style that reflects a deep, physical connection to the material world.
His work transformed mundane subjects into profound representations of presence, demonstrating an almost sculptural interplay with paint, challenging the traditional norms of depiction.
While Auerbach's deep English artistic roots were evident, his history as a Jewish refugee from Berlin profoundly influenced his perspective and the themes within his art.
Though bound to London's immediate geography, Auerbach's focus on a small area prompted rich explorations of form and identity, marking a unique contribution to post-war art.
