To be honest I think by far his most interesting stuff I’ve seen are his charcoals. As far as his work with paint goes, I think he’s pretty brutal. That piling on of paint, then scraping it off, doing it again, etc. It’s ok for a while at the start if you’ve no idea how to paint, but to keep at this crudeness for years . . . I can imagine Gauguin’s response! And then on top of that brutality of technique, also so little overall sense of grace in terms of composition - hopefully something of interest will find its way out of the mess eventually. Zen and the art of piling it all on over and over again. To add though, the few snippets I’ve seen of him in interview, he came across very well and dignified!
as someone who haz been researching auerbach for the past 5-6 years, really good video. i have one criticism only and its small. you mention "the london school" and according to interviews with both auerbach and freud both have said there is no such thing. it was an american, kitaj, who actually coined the term and i suppose the press ran with it. look fwd to other videos.
along with the likes of milton resnick, auerbach painted for himself. the narrator quotes auerbach revealing that painting is setting free...the painting and oneself ( the artist) from whatever external constraints of "supposed to be"
I didn’t save a video on a repetitive ‘word play’ artist I discovered a couple of years ago on YT and now it’s like a rabbit hole every time I try to find him. American artist who creates through his PTSD and for lack of a better example he is a bit like Basquait but more organized with his words and less colorful(he incorporates rock band names too). He paints words like this… Lawnmower Lawmaker Lawnmower Lawmaker …I thought I’d ask in this comments section maybe someone knows. Not only did I enjoy his work but it was eerily close to what I’ve envisioned in my art. Lmk if you have any idea…
There is a mysterious quality to Auerbachs painting that draws me in,I find it hard to articulate,your video resonates with me thank you
A significant painter to appreciate.

Very informative. Side note - the audio on this waxes and wanes a bit.

Financialisation of scrapings
I tried, but 🤷♂️… interesting vid, though
Piltdown Man.
He's what I like to call a "bird-shit" painter. Because their work captures the organic textures of bird-shit
