About
Francis Bacon (1909 – 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling imagery. Focusing on the human form, his subjects included crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in geometrical structures. He built up a reputation as one of the giants of contemporary art with his unique style. Bacon's reputation has grown steadily, and his work is among the most acclaimed, expensive and sought-after on the art market.
