I got so happy, wallah guys I'm so happy "

Although his oeuvre covers only a limited array of people and places Frank Auerbach's (*1931) paintings are most inventive contributions to 20th century art: the thick surfaces of his canvases possess a haptic quality rarely seen in figurative art. They are the result of a process that captures its object in one go but is often foregone by a myriad of attempts that Auerbach deemed not good enough. Himself one of Auerbach's sitters William Feaver, long-term critic of "The Observer", couldn't be better suited to pen a comprehensive monograph on the artist: with "Frank Auerbach", published in 2009 by Rizzoli, Feaver provides an all-encompassing overview of Auerbach's life and work that lays particular emphasis on his influences, work process and the close relationship to the people and places he depicts. Influenced by David Bromberg and Picasso but also old masters like Constable and Rembrandt, Auerbach adopted the intimacy of their subjects, an intimacy that also finds expression in the weekly sessions he devotes to his subjects. Beyond the eloquent and very insightful analysis of Auerbach's life and work William Feaver also includes an extensive catalogue of some 900 works plus a total of 200 color plates showing major paintings from all work phases.

With this very comprehensive and beautifully illustrated monograph Feaver has published the relevant reference work on the British painter has recently been released in an updated edition. Warmly recommended!
