Tim Marlow interviews painter Frank Auerbach, whose work will be on view at Tate Britain from October 9 – March 13, 2016. Frank Auerbach: Speaking and Painting by Catherine Lampert was recently published by Thames & Hudson.

From the poscast post intrduction: "In his own words, Auerbach is suspicious of too much thinking: 'thinking about thinking', he says, 'isn’t true thinking…If one’s really thinking, one’s not aware of it'. Doing, for the artist, is everything."
