Francis Bacon was so inspired by the Picasso exhibit in 1927 at the Paul Rosenberg gallery in Paris that he decided to dedicate himself to painting. From that point onward, he established and maintained a multifaceted relationship with Picasso's work. The visual, thematic, and philosophical aspects of the virtual dialogue that ensued between the two artists centered around what Bacon called "the brutality of fact" that linked his work to that of Picasso. Bacon-Picasso examines the work of the two artists through their common themes: the crucifixion, the kiss, the scream, and the studio portrait/self-portrait. The juxtaposition of paintings clearly demonstrates the ways in which Bacon appropriated Picasso's work into his own art. This volume, co-published with the R???union des Mus???es Nationaux, draws from prestigious international collections including the Tate Gallery, London, Mus???e National Picasso and Mus???e National d'Art Moderne, Paris, Moderna Museet (Stockholm), and Fondation Beyeler, Basel.

Seller's Description:
VG/VG. Black embossed cloth with bw illustrated dustjacket. 237 pages: illustrations (some color), portraits (some color). "Francis Bacon's dedication to the medium of painting was the direct result of his multifaceted relationship with the art of Pablo Picasso. After viewing an exhibition on Picasso in 1927 at the Calerie Paul Rosenberg in Paris, Bacon developed an obsession with Picasso's art that would continually manifest itself in his own oeuvre." "This groundbreaking study examines Picasso's versatile influence on the work of Bacon through four common themes: the crucifixion, the embrace, the the sereum, and the studio self-portrait. The volume's stunning side-by-side presentation of the two artists' compositions which assembles and assesses material from prestigious international collections and from Bacon's previously unpublished archives dedicated to Picasso-demonstrates the English painter's often dramatic appropriation of Picasso's work into his own art."--Jacket.

Paris, 1927-28: a journey of initiation--2. London, 1929-37: the phantom studios--3. 1936-44: crucifixions--Velázquez, Picasso, Bacon: in the name of the Father?
