Accompanied by a curated selection of compelling quotes  from figures such as Lucian Freud, Roald Dahl and Damien Hirst  the book guides the reader through the evolution of Bacon's distinctive aesthetic.A master of the grotesque, Bacon created art that is both unsettling and hypnotic, repulsive and irresistible. Emerging from a turbulent inner life and the devastation of World War II, his images retain a quality of urgency that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences.Over a career spanning more than five decades, Bacon produced almost 500 paintings, including his signature diptychs and triptychs. From his early Surrealist experiments of the 1920s to the stark, elegiac works completed just before his death, this book charts a lifetime of radical and groundbreaking artistry.","brand":"HENI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191474839895,"sku":"9781911736226","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/francis-bacon-paintings-9781911736226","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
