- very expressive):

Recent Works by Frank Auerbach in an Exhibition at the Marlborough Gallery

Published: April 4, 2006

Excerpt:
"Mr. Auerbach paints, then scrapes paint away, then repaints.
Thickness here is not the usual vain shorthand for "expressiveness,"
but the consequence of a regular process by which he can arrive, as if
suddenly, at the equivalent of a likeness."

Enjoy your surf,
