Please scroll down for further information. Frank Auerbach (b.1931) JYM Seated II Oil on canvas 41.3 x 50.8 cms (16¼ x 20 inches) 1989 Provenance: Marlborough Fine Art, London Literature: From Life: Radical Figurative Art From Sickert to Bevan, James Hyman Gallery, London, 2003, (cat..28), illustrated p.61. Exhibition History: Frank Auerbach. Recent Work, Marlborough Fine Art, London 1990. From Life: Radical Figurative Art From Sickert to Bevan, James Hyman Gallery, London, 10 September - 18 October 2003. In contrast to the strength and composure of Head of JYM, in JYM Seated II all is movement. The painting, from a later series often showing the subject half- or full length in a chair, possesses a powerful dynamism and the subject appears ready to leap up. In contrast to the quiet of Head of JYM, this is a clamorous painting. The animation of the sitter is married to an almost jaunty handling of paint and a flamboyant choice of colours that powerfully demonstrates not only Auerbach’s facility with paint but also his profound natural abilities as a colourist.
