A new understanding of Francis Bacon’s art and motivations.
The second in a series of books that seeks to illuminate Francis
Bacon’s art and motivations, and to open up fresh and stimulating ways
of understanding his paintings.
Francis Bacon is one of the most important artists of the 20th century.
His works continue to puzzle and unnerve viewers, raising complex
questions about their meaning. Over recent decades, two theoretical
approaches to Bacon’s work have come to hold sway: firstly, that Bacon
is an existentialist painter, depicting an absurd and godless world;
and secondly, that he is an anti-representational painter, whose
primary aim is to bring his work directly onto the spectator’s ‘nervous
system’.
Francis Bacon: Painting, Philosophy, Psychoanalysis brings together
some of today’s leading philosophers and psychoanalytic critics to go
beyond established readings of Bacon and to open up radically new ways
of thinking about his art. The essays bring Bacon into dialogue with
figures such as Aristotle, Hegel, Freud, Lacan, Adorno and Heidegger,
as well as situating his work in the broader contexts of modernism and
modernity. The result is a timely and thought-provoking collection that
will be essential reading for anyone interested in Bacon, modern art
and contemporary aesthetics.
