内容説明
"Fans of Francis Bacon, rejoice: a new publication by the French poet and author Yves Peyre, Francis Bacon Or the Measure of Excess, out now from ACC Art Books, offers a touching and intimate tribute to the Irish-born English painter who has become one of the most sought-after artists in history." - ArtNet
An
intimate insight into the life and work of Francis Bacon, written by
Yves Peyre, a close friend of the artist. This comprehensive monograph
details Bacon's artistic journey, from his early design work in the
1920s to his disturbing, emotive triptychs of the 1980s.
Tormented,
twisted, and jarringly dissonant, Bacon's divided vision of the world
swung between civilisation and barbarism, beauty and ugliness, life and
death. His study of classical culture and western mythology led him to
depict darkly sublime worlds of violence and madness that intrigue as
much as they evoke visceral disgust.
This monograph begins with a
biography, relating the life of Francis Bacon, his stories and
inspirations; before delving into a sharp analysis of his work. Peyre's
personal connection with Bacon makes Francis Bacon a detailed and
touching story, inviting the reader on a philosophical, poetic and
artistic stroll through the artist's mind.
