Inside Francis Bacon by Martin Harrison and Christopher Bucklow

The third instalment in the Bacon Estates groundbreaking series discloses the most exciting new research and information to emerge in many years on this elusive artist. Three of the essays, by Francesca Pipe, Sophie Pretorius and Martin Harrison, are based on archives recently added to the collection of the Estate of Francis Bacon. Very little is known about Bacons early career, and the diaries of his two first patrons provide a far deeper understanding of his formative years than has been accessible hitherto.
