A former art critic of 'The Observer' newspaper, William Feaver has written extensively on Auerbach, producing the catalogue raisonné of his paintings in 2009. He has also curated many exhibitions, including the 2002 Lucian Freud retrospective at the Tate. Auerbach has told Feaver of the complexities of producing a portrait: 'If something looks like a 'portrait' it doesn't look like a person. When the forms evoked by the marks seem coherent and alive and surprising, and when there are no dead areas, I think the painting might be finished.'
