Francis Bacon: Studies for a Portrait

This revised and updated edition of Francis Bacon: Studies for a Portrait reveals Francis Bacon’s elusive and enigmatic creative genius. The essays and interviews brought together here span more than half a century. In addition to three interviews, there are also essays for exhibitions, memoirs and reflections on Bacon’s late work, some published here for the first time. Included are recorded conversations with Bacon in Paris, and an overall account of the artist’s sources, techniques and extraordinary London studio.
