Painter Frank Auerbach has made some of the most resonant and inventive paintings of recent times, of people and urban landscapes. He works every day, constantly returning to a narrow range of subjects: landscapes near his studio in North London and a relatively small number of sitters, whom he will paint weekly.
Born in Berlin in 1931, Auerbach came to Britain in 1939, just before his eighth birthday, as a refugee from the Nazis. After attending Bunce Court School in Kent, he moved to London in 1947, where he has lived since.
