Francis Bacon was an English painter known for his striking, often disturbing portraits and images. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1909, he moved to London as a young man and began studying art. After experimenting with several styles, he developed his signature technique, which involved distorting and abstracting the human form to create powerful, emotionally charged images.
Bacon's paintings often featured contorted figures, stark backgrounds, and intense, contrasting colors. His work was influenced by a wide range of sources, including art history, literature, and the human body itself. He became known for his ability to convey complex emotions and psychological states through his art.
Bacon's career was marked by both critical acclaim and controversy. His paintings were celebrated by many art critics and collectors, but were also considered shocking and disturbing by some. Despite this, he continued to create groundbreaking art until his death in 1992.
Today, Francis Bacon is widely regarded as one of the most important painters of the 20th century. His work continues to be exhibited and studied around the world, and his legacy as a pioneering artist remains secure. In 2013 his painting "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" became the most expensive work sold at auction - $142.4 million at Christie's in New York.
