Francis Bacon

Bacon was an Irish-British painter that rose to promoinence in the mid 20th century for his works that challenged the boundaries of figurative art. His style characterised by raw, unsettling, and deeply psychological imagery often featuring distorted figures which reflect themes of violence, alienation and the fragility of the human condition. 

 

Renowned for his visceral triptychs, Bacon saw his images "in series"; his conccept of sustained narratives over long periods was a radical shift from the solitary focus of figurative story telling. Bacon captured his existential angst of the post-war era, cementing his reputation as one of the most provcative and uniquely radical painters of the modern era.
