Francis Bacon - In the Mirror of Photography: Collecting, Preparatory Practice and Painting - Katharina Günther

Descriere Francis Bacon - In the Mirror of Photography: Collecting, Preparatory Practice and Painting - Katharina Günther

\n \nThe British painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992) is famed for his \nidiosyncratic mode of depicting the human figure. Thirty years after his \n death, his working methods remain underexplored. New research on the \nFrancis Bacon Studio Archive at Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin, sheds light \non the genesis of his works, namely the photographic source material he \ncollected in his studios, on which he consistently based his paintings. \n\n \nThe book brings together the artist's pictorial springboards for the \nfirst time, delineating and interpreting recurring patterns and methods \nin his preparatory work and adoption of photographic material. In \naddition, it correctly locates 'chance' as a driving force in Bacon's \nworking method and qualifies the significance of photography for the \npainter. \n
