Collection: Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon (1909–1992) — Irish-born British painter, widely regarded as one of the most significant figurative artists of the twentieth century. Working in London from the 1940s onward, Bacon developed a practice centred on the human figure: distorted, isolated, and placed within shallow spatial structures derived from photography, film, and medical imagery. His triptychs, screaming popes, and studies of the body established a visual language of flesh, sensation, and psychological extremity that remained consistent across five decades.
