*When Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucufixion was
exhibited in 1945 Francis Bacon (1909 - 1992) instantly became the
most controversial painter in the country. By the end of his life
his status as one of the giants of modern art was established, as
was his reputation for hard drinking and heavy gambling. Andrew
Brighton casts fresh light on Bacon's formation as an artist in gay
and aristocratic bohemian London circles. He locates Bacon at the
core of contesting ideas and values, while firmly grounding his
reading of Bacon's work in an understanding of his working methods
and technique. Penetrating the seeming horror of Bacon's painting
this book reveals the ideas, the beliefs and the life that formed
one of the most successful artists of the twentieth century.
