Head of Gerda Boehm 

Frank Auerbach's "Head of Gerda Boehm" is a striking example of his signature figurative style, characterized by thick impasto and gestural brushstrokes that build up layers of paint. The artist's chosen subject, Gerda Boehm, was a close friend and muse who appears frequently in his work. Through the use of rich, earthy colors and a dynamic composition, Auerbach conveys a sense of depth and emotional intensity, capturing the essence of his subject in a raw and expressive manner.
