Product description
There is a palpable tension held within the dark, vertical striations that frame this visceral scene. Ghostly, distorted bodies entwine upon a stark white bed, their forms blurred into a singular, fleshy mass that defies easy interpretation.
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. Expressionist art uses distorted forms and intense colour to show inner feeling. The original image dates from 1953. Modernist artists rejected strict realism in favour of new ways of seeing colour, form and space.
Styling this Francis Bacon print
Blue tones give this Francis Bacon print a moody character that holds a room. The tall format of “Two Figures” suits narrow walls, hallways and the space beside a doorway, and it is a natural fit for a study or living room; 18×24″ is a versatile middle size. Finish “Two Figures” with a slim walnut or black frame: its blue palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
