Frank Auerbach, Renowned British Artist, Passes Away at 93

Frank Auerbach, a prominent British painter known for his thick, abstract portraits, passed away at 93 in London. Auerbach, a key figure in the School of London, redefined portraiture with his dense, sculptural use of paint, often blurring the line between figurative and abstract art. His works, particularly those of Estella Olive West, are celebrated for their unique approach to capturing human form. Despite his acclaim in the UK, Auerbach's work received less recognition internationally. He continued painting into his later years, always seeking new artistic expressions.
