Head Of J.Y.M (1973)

 Frank Auerbach’s work is primarily figurative with a very expressive use of paint. His early career was heavily influenced by David Bomberg, who encouraged him to develop a strong identification with his artistic subjects. As a result Auerbach’s subjects rarely change. In fact he has only used three models in his entire career, his wife Julia, the professional model Juliet Yardley Mills and his friend Stella West.
