What art have I seen? Frank Auerbach – The Charcoal Heads
Two rooms of the most compelling charcoal drawing. What if you keep working on a charcoal drawing for a week or a year? There is a comment about the improvisation only coming at the end, adding a stoke or two of vivid pink or blue to something monochrome.
It seems trite to say there is an unstintingness to this work. If you are looking for experiments in medium or form, or the notion of craft, the tedious act… see recent review from Washington Post, thank you Tim Collins… This is those things. It isn’t an exhibition about ‘now’, the anthropocene, and it isn’t elevating an overlooked group. It isn’t ecological or social but it is creating a world in common.

Thanks for sharing. His incessant ‘work’ in his studio is quite incredible … from what I hear he has been committed to that every day, seven days a week, with no desire to do anything else. And still at it! The depth in the drawings speaks of that dedication, to looking and to seeing.
