  Frank Auerbach
Frank Helmut Auerbach (born April 29, 1931) is a painter.
Auerbach was born in Berlin, but his parents sent him to England in 1939 to escape the Nazis (the family was Jewish).
Auerbach is a figurative painter, usually taking personal friends as his subject, with three people being used time and again: his wife, Julia; Juliet Yardley Mills (usually referred to as J. in titles), a professional model; and Stella West (usually referred to as E. W.), a personal friend.

 The Guardian Profile: Frank Auerbach | Arts | EducationGuardian.co.uk

Frank Helmut Auerbach was born in Berlin on April 29 1931, just as Adolph Hitler's grip on the German Reichstag tightened and Nazi brownshirts began patrolling the city's streets.

 Head of JYM by Frank Auerbach (b.1931)
In the early 1980s Auerbach painted a major series of portraits of JYM in which the simplicity of the wooden chair upon which she sits and the frontal pose she adopts belies the immense power and sophistication of the painting.
In Head of JYM the model's presence is strongly physical: Auerbach conveys the weight of the head, the strength of the neck, the animation of a person into whose space we have intruded.
In this sense Auerbach's portraits of JYM recall Giacometti intimacy and Bacon immediacy, in which the subject is not simply the figure, alone, but rather the figure in space.

 Head of J.Y.M. by Frank Auerbach b.1931
Each time Auerbach returns to his subject he is painting with a greater knowledge and intensity and his mesh-like brushstrokes retain a vitality and freshness betrayed in the glistening viscosity of the oil paint used.

Essentially a subject of R.R. Kitaj's "School of London," its nucleus comprised a group of friends and contemporaries: Francis Bacon, Frank Auebach, Lucian Freud, Michael Andrews.
The latter's painting, The Colony Room I, 1962 sets at least two of them in their milieu (all 23' x 12' of it): Freud stands off-center facing out, and Bacon sits to his left with Muriel Belcher on her stool dividing them.
"Each of these painters 'instilled a personal style in their works dissecting reality and the morphological attitude of models, expressionist and violent for Auerbach, haloed with dream and mystery for Andrews, coloured and graphic for Kitaj while Kossof seems much attracted by thick materials.
