Francis Bacon: Human Presence Book

¿This whirligig of horrors is the best Bacon show I¿ve ever seen¿ - Jonathan Jones The Guardian Featuring works from the 1950s onwards, this book explores Francis Bacon¿s deep connection to portraiture and how he challenged traditional definitions of the genre. From his responses to portraiture by earlier artists, to large-scale paintings memorialising lost lovers, works from private and public collections will showcase Bacon¿s life story. As well as the artist¿s self-portraits, sitters include Lucian Freud, Isabel Rawsthorne and lovers Peter Lacy and George Dyer.
