The first volume in over 20 years dedicated to Bacon's unconventional, psychologically trenchant portraits
Featuring works from the 1950s onward, this book explores the genre-defying portraiture of Irish British artist Francis Bacon (1909-92). It is the first publication in over 20 years dedicated to this facet of Bacon's practice. From his responses to portraiture by earlier artists to large-scale paintings memorializing lost lovers, these selected works showcase Bacon's life story. In addition to the artist's self-portraits, sitters include Lucian Freud, Isabel Rawsthorne and his lovers Peter Lacy and George Dyer.
