Frank Auerbach: The Charcoal Heads

In the years following the war, Frank Auerbach created a series of large-scale, hauntingly beautiful charcoal portrait drawings, with each one a stark reflection of the difficulty of the times, and the hardships people faced. Each one is drawn, erased, and redrawn again - so often the paper wears through - and is a profound reminder of the impact of war and the destruction it causes.
