Francis Bacon

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Michel Leiris traces in the art of Francis Bacon the haunting presence of animality in man, in its various phases that lead the artist to paint the scream rather than horror, to violate his painting rather than the image of humanity. After a sickly childhood and a self-taught education in the school of bohemia, between Paris and Berlin, the painter Francis Bacon asserts himself from 1945, in the aftermath of the war, with a painting of horror: crucified bodies, bloodless flesh tortured by his palette and a style that is both wild, expressionist, and refined.
