A unique portrait of one of the creative geniuses of the 20th
century, by the distinguished critic David Sylvester. Controversial
in both life and art, Francis Bacon was one of the most important
painters of the 20th century. His monumental, unsettling images
have an extraordinary power to disturb, shock and haunt the
spectator, 'to unlock the valves of feeling and therefore return
the onlooker to life more violently'. Drawing on his personal
knowledge of Bacon's inspirations, intentions and working methods,
David Sylvester surveys the development of the work from 1933 to
the early 1990s, and discusses critically a number of its crucial
aspects. He also reproduces previously unpublished extracts from
his celebrated conversations with Bacon in which the artist speaks
about himself, modern painters and the art of the past. Finally,
Sylvester gives a brief account of Bacon's life, correcting certain
errors that elsewhere have been presented as facts. Divided into
the sections 'Review', 'Reflections', 'Fragments of Talk' and
'Biographical Note', Looking Back at Francis Bacon is a unique
portrait of one of the creative geniuses of our age by a writer of
comparable distinction.
