Sinossi
Francis Bacon (1909-1992) possedeva la rara capacità di trasformare le pulsioni inconsce in forme figurative e antropomorfe che sembrano evocare le emozioni grezze che ne sono all'origine. In una combinazione di realismo e astrazione, Bacon si immerge in profondità sotto la superficie delle cose, spalancando il corpo umano per portare alla luce il caos al suo interno e lottando contro tutto ciò che è inspiegabile. L'opera di questo artista leggendario è pervasa di erotismo e grottesca bellezza e le sue figure distorte e inquietanti hanno ispirato intere generazioni di pittori impegnate nel tentativo di emulare il suo originalissimo stile.

I bought this Taschen book because if you’re cool millennial you’re suppose to have like 20 of these laying around your apartment. Anyways it was a wonderful read analyzing Bacons work in a very accessible way. Without going super in-depth using crazy artist verbiage that only art students could und Leggi tutto
Possibly one of the worst books on art I have ever read. The high-brow academic style of the writing is almost impenetrable and largely incomprehensible as well as totally lacking in any genuine analysis of the paintings, let alone Bacon's techniques or inspirations. And, with such a small format, t Leggi tutto
(Dit betreft de Nederlandse vertaling, door Dirk de Rijk) Op een kwart opgehouden met lezen. Afschuwelijk pretentieus geschreven; en poging op Francis Bacon te verheffen boven de mens die hij was, waarmee juist afbreuk gedaan wordt aan zijn persoon. Prachtige afbeeldingen, dat wel. Maar goed, zoek da Leggi tutto
