Product description
In the psychological and visceral style of post-war European modernism, this composition reinterprets classical form through a lens of isolation and intensity. The artwork features a fleshy, truncated human torso resting upon a stark grey pedestal, set against a deep, monochromatic red field that vibrates with energy.
About Francis Bacon
Bacon often placed his subjects inside cage-like frames against flat, intense backgrounds. Bacon’s work is dramatic and unsettling, and it remains a landmark of post-war painting. Expressionist art uses distorted forms and intense colour to show inner feeling. The original image dates from 1984. Expressionist artists used bold colour and distorted forms to convey feeling rather than appearance.
Styling this Francis Bacon print
With its black, white and red palette and bold atmosphere, this Francis Bacon print brings instant personality to a wall. At 24×36″ it makes a statement above a console in a study or living room; at 12×18″ to 16×20″ it suits a hallway or gallery wall. Finish this Francis Bacon print with a simple black or oak frame: its black, white and red palette stands out against warm neutrals and charcoal.
