Frank Auerbach, One of Britain’s Most Celebrated Artists, Dies at 93

Known for his unyielding seven-day-a-week work schedule, he returned again and again to the same models and London street scenes.

Great article. I knew of Lucien Freud and Leon Kossoff (the latter through his son and grandson). I'll spend some time looking at Auerbach's work in the next few weeks.

Looks like I've already gone down a rabbit hole with Auerbach. Real similarities between his Head Of J.Y.M. and the cover of the live album by Japan, Oil On Canvas.

The paintings in real life are very different to seeing them on a screen. He was a very influential painters painter, I love the fact that he went into the studio 7 days a week and only took one day off a year.

Yeah, that's true artistic focus.

Apropos of very little, did you know Robert Hughes?

Never met him but Robert Hughes was obligatory reading back in Art School.
'Shock Of The New was one of the text books and of course his Art reviews.

Yes. Shock Of The New was something that I read portions of in my early 20s. Should read it properly again.

Interestingly with the banned books in the US, the youngest offspring has been quite keen to read them now. I realised how many I had on my shelves and then decided it's time to reread some. So, starting tonight I'm reading Fahrenheit 451.

Interesting from the point of 'selling the influencer'.
To me that the rapid cycling of ev-de-volution is the interesting part.
All just 'selling it' really.

The never ending cycle of having to feed the beast. The beast resembles Ouroboros.

His lyrics were both everything that's right and wrong with prog-rock. Lizard is my least favourite King Crimson album and the lyrics on that are often hilariously pompous.

But what a career. For a ten or so year period at the forefront of a musical movement and then to a level of obscurity.

We should all be so lucky.

Vale.
