Product Description

Product Description

Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential and revolutionary philosophers of the 20th century. Francis Bacon is widely regarded as one of the most radical painters of the 20th century. This title presents a deep engagement with Bacon's work and the nature of art. Deleuze analyses the distinctive innovations that came to mark Bacon's style: the isolation of the figure, the violent deformations of the flesh, the complex use of colour, the method of chance, and the use of the triptych form. Along the way, Deleuze introduces a number of his own famous concepts, such as the "body without organs" and the "diagram", and contrasts his own approach to painting with that of both the phenomenological and the art historical traditions. Deleuze links Bacon's work to Cezanne's notion of a "logic" of sensation, which reaches its summit in colour and the "colouring sensation". Investigating this logic, Deleuze explores Bacon's crucial relation to past painters such as Velasquez, Cezanne and Soutine, as well as Bacon's rejection of expressionism and abstract painting.


About the Author

Daniel W. Smith teaches in the Department of Philosophy at Purdue University. He has also translated Deleuze's Essays Critical and Clinical (with Michael A. Greco) and Pierre Klossowski's Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle.

5.0 out of 5 stars logical inspirational choice, 12 Aug 2007
By M. N. (London/Glasgow) - See all my reviews
A note from a painter (working in a cartoonish manic fleshyness) I came to this through Bacon, but left forgetting it was about him- in the best possible sense. The depth of understanding towards the picture plane, for example the meaning of movement and stasis of protagonists within the work. Reading painting unrelated, to say, the symbolic readings of Raphael. Deleuze seems to comprehend the artistic creative process (the near automatic) which is built upon logical process of a planned refinement. I only touch upon so little of this book. An awesome work which thankfully does not spell out anything in layman's terms. I read a chapter every month or so, and they stuck.
