◐ Artist World Record ◑

Frank Helmut Auerbach (born 29 April 1931) is a German-British painter. Born in Germany, he has been a naturalised British subject since 1947.

​프랭크 아우어바흐의 미술은 영국미술의 발전과 유럽의 전통이라는 양 측면 모두에서 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다. 독일에서 태어난 아우어바흐는 1939년 나치 정권을 피해 영국으로 이주한 뒤, 그곳에서 학교를 다녔다. 당대 화가 대부분이 구상을 거부했음에도 불구하고, 아우어바흐는 스스로에 대한 믿음 속에서 구상 양식을 고수했다.

​아우어바흐는 육체적, 감정적 측면에서 자신과 가까웠던 사람 및 장소를 화폭에 옮기는 것을 작업원칙으로 삼았다. 따라서 그의 작품 속 장소들은 초상화만큼이나 풍부한 개성을 보여준다. 아우어바흐의 두껍게 펴 바른 물감과 붓놀림은 풍부한 구성의 대각선 느낌을 강조하며, 운동과 에너지를 전달하는 효과 역시 배가시키고 있다. [ 출처 : 제주도민일보 ]
