Francis BaconBritish Artists
Andrew Brighton
Andrew Brighton describes his account as seeking ‘to inform how one might experience, think about and value Bacon’s work’. His book casts fresh light on Bacon’s formation as an artist in gay, aristocratic and bohemian London circles; it examines his working methods and technique; and it reveals the ideas, the beliefs and the life that together formed one of the most successful artists of the 20th century.
