This review is from: Leon Kossoff (Hardcover)
I can't decide between Kossoff and Auerbach who is best.Both use heavy paint. Sometimes this is overwhelming. Kossoff is at his best when he is painting family and friends. His humor is obvious. Some of his work is too close to Roualt .The large heads..for example. I like some of his landscapes ,as well.The text gives you a good idea of his struggles with paint.Luckily he found support, The Brits seem to be more generous in enabling the artists then we have in the United States. The U.K. is much smaller than the U.S.They manage to give their artists careers.The situation for artist in the U.S. is more competitive and difficult. I wonder why there are so many more books on Francis Bacon than Willem De Kooning. Someone said it is ,because he twisted the head of the figure in distortions like Picasso The book is well worth the price.
