SynopsisLargely self-taught as an artist, Francis Bacon (1909-1992) developed a unique ability to transform interior and unconscious impulses into figurative forms and intensely claustrophobic compositions. Emerging into notoriety in the period following World War II, Bacon took the human body as his nominal subject, but a subject ravaged, distorted, and dismembered so as to writhe with intense emotional content. With flailing limbs, hollow voids, and tumurous growths, his gripping, often grotesque, portraits are as much reflections on the trials and the traumas of the human condition as they are character studies. These haunting forms were also among the first in art history to depict overtly homosexual themes., A concise and gripping encounter with Francis Bacon, one of the most individual, powerful, and disturbing painters of the 20th century. Emerging into notoriety in the period following World War II, Bacon developed a unique figurative form, distorted, dismembered, and writhing with intense emotional content.

Great artist
These Taschen books are usually great, but this one offered absolutely nothing about the motivation, techniques, or materials used by the artist or anything about the artist. The pictures are of great quality but the text is made up entirely of a scholarly wordsmith’s descriptions of pictures of paintings you’re already looking at. Worth it for the pictures, but not if you are looking to learn about the artist.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
