Artist Bio: FRANCIS BACON (1909-1992) Francis Bacon has a distinctive style as a figure painter. In his mature style, developed in the1950's, the paintings include images of either friends or lovers, or images of people found in movie stills, reproductions of historic paintings and medical photos. His people scream in physical and psychic pain, seemingly tortured in bedrooms, bathrooms and cages.
