Description
Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation by Gilles Deleuze explores the distinctive innovations in Francis Bacon's paintings. Deleuze analyzes the artist's style, including the isolation of the figure, the use of color and chance, and the triptych form. Deleuze links Bacon's work to Cezanne's notion of a 'logic' of sensation, investigating this logic and exploring Bacon's relation to past painters such as Velasquez and Soutine. This book presents a deep engagement with Bacon's work and the nature of art, creating new concepts and contrasting his approach with phenomenological and art historical traditions. Through Deleuze's analysis, readers can gain insight into Bacon's crucial place in the history of painting and the development of modern art theory.
