Sober, but still sensational

Article Abstract:

Artist Tracey Emin has become well known in recent years for her very direct approach. She is often self-promoting, and uses her work to reveal details of her private life. However, her early works show her in a very different light. Some of these works are now in the hands of painter Robert McDonald, who taught Emin when she was studying BA Fine Art. They include small woodcuts and linocuts with a strong atmosphere of gloom and pessimism. McDonald believes that Emin should be regarded as a serious artist.

All paint and no play? That's dull

Article Abstract:

The Royal Academy in London, England, is staging a retrospective entitled 'Frank Auerbach Paintings and Drawings 1954 to 2001.' There are two galleries of early work, showing an obsession with the application and reapplication of paint. There is a more frenzied atmosphere when louder colours begin to appear.
