"I think of painting as something that happens to a man working in a room." His approach emphasizes the personal, introspective nature of artistic creation.
"To paint the same head over and over leads to unfamiliarity. Eventually you get near the raw truth about it." Auerbach's dedication to his models offers profound insights into the nature of realism.
Auerbach's works present a rawness that's so dense and clotted that viewers often feel compelled to connect with the texture and physicality of the paint.
Despite being less known than contemporaries like Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, Auerbach's artistic intensity and dedication to his craft define his legacy.
