In this landmark text by one of the most influential philosophers
of the twentieth century, Gilles Deleuze takes the paintings of
Francis Bacon as his object of his study. The book presents a deep
engagement with Bacon's work and the nature of art. Deleuze
analyzes the distinctive innovations that came to mark Bacon's
style: the isolation of the figure, the violation and deformations
of the flesh, the complex use of color, the method of chance, and
the use of the triptych form. Here Deleuze creates a number of his
well-known concepts, such as the 'body without organs' and
contrasts his own approach to painting with that of both the
phenomenological and the art historical traditions. Deleuze links
Bacon's work to Cezanne's notion of a 'logic' of sensation and,
investigating this logic, explores Bacon's crucial relation to past
painters such as Cezanne, Velasquez, and Soutine.
