METAMORPHOSES

Bildschirmfoto 2018-02-10 um 05.09.28

Francis Bacon Metamorphoses presents twenty of the most compelling comparisons between the wide-ranging imagery that Bacon collected and the paintings they informed. I was sponsored by The Estate of Francis Bacon to undertake a twelve-month research project, working with Bacon’s original material in Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. My new book publishes, for the first time, some of the most exciting and informative findings of that research.

More information: Francis Bacon Metamorphoses on The Estate of Francis Bacon’s website.
