Francis Bacon: Man and Beast

Anna Testar, Catherine Howe, Isabella Boorman, Michael Peppiatt, Stephen F. Eisenman, 2021

Overview

Francis Bacon is recognized as a pivotal painter of the 20th century. A significant 2020 exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts delved into the presence of animals within his oeuvre, including the concept of the human animal. Bacon frequently depicted dogs and horses, and in 1969, he began a powerful series of bullfight paintings. These works capture a dangerous, cruel, yet disturbingly intimate dynamic between man and beast, exploring instinctual behavior and its connection to the human condition.
