Francis Bacon

This book is part of the Skira Mini ARTbooks: it is perfect for casual reading or easy reference: a fun and practical art history lesson that everyone can enjoy. Francis Bacon was born in Ireland of English parents in 1909 and died in '92. Self-taught, he expressed the satirical, horrifying, and hallucinatory in such works as Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion ('44, Tate Gallery, London). His artwork is known for its bold, austere, and often grotesque or nightmarish imagination.
