A new selection of letters, statements and interviews reveals the thoughts, ideas and concerns of Francis Bacon. A Self-Portrait in Words.
The selected documents illustrate Bacon's sharp wit and ability to express complex ideas in highly personal and memorable language. Here are not only letters to friends, patrons and fellow artists, but also interesting notes and lists of paintings. They are often accompanied by a sketch as a memory aid or a reminder to himself while he was working in the studio, and many have only been discovered after his death.
