Examines one of the 20th century's greatest painters
Francis Bacon (1909-1992) was one of the greatest painters of the 20th century & his powerful images will be explored in this lecture by Dr Rina Arya. Senior Lecturer in Critical & Contextual Studies at the Uni of Chester. Although Bacon's central subject is the human figure he cannot comfortably be described as a figurative painter in the conventional sense. He uses abstraction & distortion to give us a sense of the body and the bodily which is far more intimate than figuration on its own would allow.
