"Head of E.O.W. I" (1960) is a portrait by Frank Auerbach, known for his thick impasto style and focus on human form. The painting captures the essence of his subject, E.O.W., with heavy, layered brushstrokes that build up a sense of depth and emotion. The intense colors and expressive lines contribute to the raw and intimate feel of the portrait, reflecting Auerbach's signature style that is often characterized by a palpable sense of presence and immediacy. This painting, now housed in the Tate Modern, is a testament to Auerbach's unique and powerful approach to portraiture.
