"Head of E.O.W." by Frank Auerbach is a striking portrait that exemplifies his intense, expressive style rooted in Expressionism. Auerbach, a German-born British painter and key figure in the School of London, captures the raw emotional complexity of his subject with bold brushwork and textured layers.
