Francis Bacon: Amd The Human Body

By N.P. James

Celebrated Irish born painter Francis Bacon (1909-92) is discussed in a seminar for the MA History of Art course at Kingston University in 1995. It considers varied aspects of his work, the circumstances of his social milieu, his painting subjects, comparing him with predecessors in Western art from Goya to Picasso as well as contemporaries such as Lucian Freud. A second part reviews works in an exhibition Francis Bacon and the Human Body held at the Hayward Gallery London 1998 and Francis Bacon: Man and Beast presented at the Royal Academy London in 2022.
