Frank Auerbach, one of Britain’s pre-eminent postwar painters who, for more than 60 years, painted his friends and the streets and parks near his London studio, died on Nov. 11 at home in London. He was 93.

He painted seven days and five evenings every week, with live models and from drawings made during his walks in his neighborhood. He never wavered from his routine.

“I sometimes think of doing other things, but actually it’s much more interesting to paint,” Mr. Auerbach told The Guardian in 2015. “It is just a marvelous activity that humans have invented.”
