Painting- Frank Auerbach

Head of Julia, 1960. Oil on canvas,

• born in Berlin
• parents- Charlotte Nora Burchardt (Artist) and Max Auerbach (a patent lawyer).

Frank was sent to England in 1939 to escape Nazi percecution. Both his parents that were left behind in Germany later died in a consentration camp in 1942. I think this was a key driving force behind his work.

• He is a figurative painter.
