They (Auerbach, Kossoff and Freud) are NOT from Eastern Europe. They are all Jews, it's not the same though. Kossoff was raised in - then - Jewish East London, Auerbach and Freud came to London as kids from Germany where they were born. Germany is not East Europe and has never been. I like Leon Kossoff too. Some of those paintings were in his show at Annely Juda in London last year.
Thanks, more than a year ago I'm posting all these videos and think that every day becomes more committed and objective work to involve many more people, each of these art shows. Greetings from Colombia!
James, thank you for your coverage of Leon Kossoff, a great painter. And, thank you for being supportive of painters always. Monticelli is a good comparison; also Auerbach, Soutine, Paul Maas....Kossoff is truly wonderful! Long life, lots of paintings!
This is excellent thanks for sharing!
