Francis Bacons work contains a strength and vitality that has led tohis position as one of the greatest twentieth-century artists. Theviolent intensity with which his paintings give expression to theexistential angst of his fellow human beings is virtually withoutparallel in the history of the art. Bacons work (1909- 1992)undoubtedly includes some of the most extraordinary and powerfulpaintings in modern art, reflecting the isolation and terror of thehuman condition, conveyed by the distortion of features and the nudebody. This volume published to mark the hundredth anniversary of theartists birth and the upcoming exhibitions at the Tate Britain,London, the Prado Museum, Madrid, and the Metropolitan Museum, NewYork comprises his series of portraits and self-portraits, theweirdly beautiful yet terrifying variations of Vel zquezs PopeInnocent X, the painfully moving Crucifixion, the enigmatic figurestudies, and twelve gatefolds of the powerful triptychs. The 240paintings were selected by the artist himself and he was closelyinvolved with every aspect of their reproduction in this monograph.
