Description

Francis Bacon: Man and Beast Francis Bacon's paintings are a complex exploration of the human condition, often blurring the lines between man and beast. This publication delves into the role of animals in his work, revealing the varied sources of inspiration behind his most powerful creations. From the contorted bodies of bullfighting subjects to the primal instincts that drive his human figures, Bacon's art is a profound examination of the animal darkness at the core of human nature. Bacon's fascination with the animal world was not limited to his bullfighting subjects, but also extended to the Surrealist literature and photography of Eadweard Muybridge. This book brings together expert insights into Bacon's artistic process, shedding light on the sources of his inspiration and the creative forces that drove him. Hardcover, 157 pages, published in 2021.
