Product Description
Product Description
Francis Bacon is celebrated as one of the most important British artists of the twentieth century. From the 1940s to his death in 1992, he worked consistently as a painter, ignoring other passing, fashionable trends in art. Throughout his career, the human figure was the dominant subject in his work: his paintings of men and women go far beyond a simple likeness and instead are portraits of complex psychological states. In two essays, this book examines forty of some of his most intense works: his small-format portraits.
