“Tree in Tretire II” by Frank Auerbach, created in 1976, is a part of the Expressionism movement. This screenprint and intaglio work belongs to the genres of sketch and study, as well as landscape art. The artwork is currently housed at Tate Britain in London, UK.
The artwork features a dynamic array of gestural marks and lines, capturing an abstract representation of a tree. The composition employs a limited color palette, focusing instead on the intensity and spontaneity of the brushstrokes. The intricate web of linear forms conveys a sense of energy and movement, embodying the expressive qualities central to Auerbach’s artistic style.
