Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

One of Britain's pre-eminent artists, Frank Auerbach has spent all of his adult life in London, and delights in the city's colours and forms. Both his oil paintings and his drawings reveal the intense observation and furious mark-making that he employs to arrive at the essence of his subjects. This book is published to accompany a major retrospective held at the Royal Academy of Arts to mark Auerbach's seventieth birthday. Norman Rosenthal, the Royal Academy's Exhibitions Secretary, considers Auerbach's paintings in the contexts of London and of Western art. Catherine Lampert, curator of the exhibition, contributes an essay on the painter and his sitters, and Isabel Carlisle, Exhibitions Curator, introduces each of the catalogue's four sections: Early Works (1954-70); People; Landscapes; and Drawings. All the works in the exhibition - some ninety paintings and ten drawings, borrowed mainly from private collections - are illustrated in full colour.

Catalog of an exhibition held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, Sept. 14 - Dec. 12, 2001.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 152).

CHOICE Review

Rembrandt, Constable, de Kooning, Baselitz, Auerbach: all artists who luxuriate in paint, dig into it viscerally, and bring us along with their process. The first four were all influential on London's Auerbach, whose nearly five decades of work is celebrated in this fine catalog for the fall 2001 exhibition at the Royal Academy. Born in Germany in 1931 and exiled to England at age eight, Auerbach is one of Great Britain's most important artists and one of the most significant artists of the second half of the last century. Lampert, Rosenthal, and Carlisle have assembled 113 of his finest works, many now in private collections, and presented and written about them in memorable ways. Rosenthal contributes the essay "Auerbach and His History." A longer essay by Lampert considers Auerbach's relationship to his sitters, and she also contributed to the illustrated chronology. The heart of the publication, however, is the catalog, in four sections, each introduced by Carlisle: "Early Works: 1954-1970"; "People"; "Landscapes"; "Drawings." Within these sections, we find a plethora of superb color images that convey as much as any illustration can the energy, love of paint, and formal explorations and achievements of the artist. Select bibliography; lists of works and lenders. Highly recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through faculty. J. Weidman Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
