When Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion 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, heavy gambling and
sado-masochistic homosexuality. 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.
