Frank Auerbach: To The Studios, 1990-91.

"Upto the late 1970s Frank Auerbach, one of the so-called School of London painters, took as his principal landscape subjects the park at Primrose Hill and the corner of Camden High Street and Mornington Crescent. In 1977 he added a third motif: the view of the entrance to his studio in North London. Auerbach began working at this studio in 1954. It is located in an alley in Camden and was built at the turn of the nineteenth century. The previous occupants include the painters Frances Hodgkins and Leon Kossoff. Since 1977 Auerbach has explored the subject extensively, making several paintings and innumerable sketches of the motif." (bron: Tate.org)
