It looks in detail at his portrait drawings, which Auerbach has been making since the 1950s, and which he has always considered important, freestanding works of art. By turns eerie, shocking, enigmatic, and hauntingly tender, they demand fresh interpretation and investigation. Reproducing more than 130 examples of these portraits, some for the first time, and featuring new essays by curators, scholars, and critics, this book provides an unprecedented opportunity to explore and reassess these striking and sometimes unsettling works of graphic art. \u003ci\u003eFrank Auerbach: Drawings of People\u003c\/i\u003e includes texts by both the editors and the artist himself, and new essays by Kate Aspinall, James Finch, Alex Massouras, David Mellor, and Barnaby Wright. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Hallett\u003c\/b\u003e is director of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. \u003cb\u003eCatherine Lampert\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator and art historian, and has been sitting for Frank Auerbach since May 1978. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Paul Mellon Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50922904027410,"sku":"9781913107352","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f7da1835-e9d8-4016-a7e9-51a1ca54ae68.jpg?v=1738943774","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/frank-auerbach-drawings-of-people-9781913107352","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
