2 unusual facts about Frank Auerbach


Artists' Collecting Society

ACS now represents nearly 500 artists and artists’ estates including well-known artists such as Lucian Freud, Dame Laura Knight, Frank Auerbach, Howard Hodgkin, Paula Rego and Christopher Le Brun.

Frank Auerbach

Indeed he almost became an actor, even taking a small role in Peter Ustinov's play House Of Regrets at the Unity Theatre in St Pancras, at the age of 17.


Christopher Bramham

In this it is possible to see some connection with other painters associated with the School of London, as there is a comparison to be made between the coupling of the formalist interest in painting as a medium alongside a direct engagement with aspects of the real world in Bramham and artists such as Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach.

Clive Head

In terms of artistic practice it is possibly closer to the direct engagement with reality one sees in the paintings of Antonio López García or Frank Auerbach than either photorealist painting or photography, although stylistically it is still very different.

Marlborough Fine Art

During the 1970s and 1980s, Marlborough staged exhibitions by Frank Auerbach, Lynn Chadwick, Lucian Freud, Barbara Hepworth, R.B. Kitaj, Ben Nicholson, Victor Pasmore, John Piper, Graham Sutherland, Jacques Lipchitz, René Magritte, Max Beckmann, Max Bill, and Henri Matisse.

Verika

Her inspiration derives from the German Expressionists and Fauvists due to their expressive use of colour and she is also inspired by Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach for their amazing painting techniques and their ability to create thousands of meaningful layers on one single surface by only using oil paint.
