I was taught by Auerbach many years ago when he tutored evening classes in life drawing and portraiture at Ealing School of Art in London. From him I learned how to draw and paint what I could see not what I thought I could see. Lessons I passed on to my own students over the years.

I didn't know this artist yet.
If you ask me, his paintings are breathtakingly beautiful.

What a true master. Way better than Picasso easily and so much more than bacon the bacon. Malevitch and kandinski, are this level in my opinion.
