Description
Francis Bacon in Your Blood by Michael Peppiatt is an intimate and candid account of his extraordinary friendship with Francis Bacon. In 1963, Peppiatt met Bacon at the French House in Soho, where they began a conversation that would last for thirty years. Over oysters and Chablis, Bacon shared his life with Peppiatt, revealing both the brilliance and charisma of the artist, as well as his 'gilded gutter' world. The two men's lives became closely intertwined, with Peppiatt recording scores of their conversations on art, love, death, and everything in between. This book offers a living likeness of Bacon, showing him in all his complexity - grand, petty, tender, and treacherous by turn. It is a speaking portrait that strips away the myth surrounding this defining artist of our times, revealing a more nuanced and human figure.
