Francis Bacon (1909-1992)

Francis Bacon was born in 1909 in Dublin. As an artist, he was self-taught and devoted himself entirely to painting not until 1944. His works are characterized by visionary imagery influenced by surrealism. Bacon found the inspirations to his distorted, deformed figures that express fear, hopelessness and distress, in slaughterhouses, press photos and medical books, but also in paintings by artists, such as Hieronymus Bosch, Johann Heinrich Fuseli and Vincent van Gogh. Francis Bacon worked his paintings from photographs, he created distorted portraits of fellow artists, such as Alberto Giacometti and further large-format triptychs of religious content. (fea)
