Translated and with an Introduction by Daniel W. Smith
Afterword by Tom Conley
Gilles Deleuze had several paintings by Francis Bacon hanging in
his Paris apartment, and the painter's method and style as well as
his motifs of seriality, difference, and repetition influenced
Deleuze's work. This first English translation shows us one of the
most original and important French philosophers of the twentieth
century in intimate confrontation with one of that century's most
original and important painters.
In considering Bacon, Deleuze offers implicit and explicit insights
into the origins and development of his own philosophical and
aesthetic ideas, ideas that represent a turning point in his
intellectual trajectory. First published in French in 1981,
"Francis Bacon" has come to be recognized as one of Deleuze's most
significant texts in aesthetics. Anticipating his work on cinema,
the baroque, and literary criticism, the book can be read not only
as a study of Bacon's paintings but also as a crucial text within
Deleuze's broader philosophy of art.
In it, Deleuze creates a series of philosophical concepts, each of
which relates to a particular aspect of Bacon's paintings but at
the same time finds a place in the "general logic of sensation."
Illuminating Bacon's paintings, the nonrational logic of sensation,
and the act of painting itself, this work--presented in lucid and
nuanced translation--also points beyond painting toward connections
with other arts such as music, cinema, and literature. "Francis
Bacon" is an indispensable entry point into the conceptual
proliferation of Deleuze's philosophy as a whole.
Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was professor of philosophy at the
University of Paris, Vincennes-St. Denis. He coauthored
"Anti-Oedipus" and "A Thousand Plateaus" with Felix Guattari. These
works, as well as "Cinema 1, Cinema 2, The Fold, Proust and Signs,"
and others, are published in English by Minnesota.
