About the Artist | (1909-1992) "Francis Bacon was an Irish-born British figurative painter
known for his raw, unsettling imagery. Focusing on the human form, his subjects
included crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and
portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in
geometrical structures." Wikipedia |
