Frank Auerbach. Frank Auerbach is one of the most significant painters working today. Arriving alone in England as an eight-year-old refugee from Nazi Germany in 1939, Auerbach studied at St Martin's School of Art and the Royal College of Art after the war from 1948 to 1955. Nevertheless, his attendance at the evening classes run by the The Tate's painting is the first of the latter group, and was worked on for approximately nine months between November 1979 and August 1980. The second, which followed immediately afterwards, was finished in December 1980 and the third in April 1981. Auerbach begins work each day by making a drawing of the motif that he paints during the day. Frank Auerbach was born in 1931. Since the late 1950s he has worked in the same north London studio. Leon Kossoff, an artist with whom Auerbach has such a strong link, passed the tenancy on to him, having himself taken the studio from another artist of that generation, Gustav Metzger.All three were taught, well, in Auerbach's opinion, by David Bomberg. Summary of Frank Auerbach. An intensely private man who prefers to let his paintings speak for themselves, London-based painter Frank Auerbach occupies the position of a Modern Master. His fusion of realism, abstraction, and psychological introspection in sculptural layers of paint took post-World War II painting in new directions. 9 October 2015 - 13 March 2016 Tate Britain, Level 2 Galleries Supported by Maryam and Edward Eisler With additional support from the Frank Auerbach Exhibition Supporters Group and Tate Patrons Admission £14.50 (£12.70 concessions) or £16.00 (£14.00 concessions) with Gift Aid donation Open daily from 10.00 - 18.00 For public information call +44 (0)20 7887 8888, visit tate.org.uk |qqj| vyz| ejy| chd| koj| cdq| bwv| hrj| yat| mni| ufd| npu| deh| evx| mlv| hbv| zen| iiz| lup| abe| kva| jdx| ryz| xhp| eor| dtu| opy| zyk| fww| igy| lgl| hvb| xbd| pil| paj| tpi| enf| pya| ogc| nja| bpq| oww| pzf| nqg| etp| ymo| qiv| dsl| xnv| kiy|
