Description
Francis Bacon: A Study in Controversy and Technique. When Francis Bacon's painting "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion" was first exhibited in 1945, he instantly became the most contentious figure in British art. This controversy would eventually solidify his reputation as one of the giants of modern art. Andrew Brighton sheds new light on Bacon's early life and artistic development, exploring how he navigated the complex social circles of gay and aristocratic London. Bacon's work is often perceived as shocking or disturbing, but this book reveals a more nuanced understanding of his artistic vision. By examining Bacon's working methods and technique, Brighton provides a fresh perspective on the artist's life and ideas. This biography offers a compelling insight into the mind behind some of the most successful art of the 20th century. Hardcover, 96 pages.
