Francis Bacon Derriere le Miroir Modern Exhibition Art Print

The human form undergoes a visceral transformation through the lens of one of the twentieth century’s most provocative painters. This print captures the raw energy of the 1966 exhibition cover, featuring a distorted torso and facial profile rendered in an evocative palette of muted lavender, deep forest green, and bruised pink.

About Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon (1909–1992) was an Irish-born British painter known for raw, distorted figures. Bacon’s work is dramatic and unsettling, and it remains a landmark of post-war painting. Groups such as Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter shaped Expressionism before the First World War.
