Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon's work has a strength and vitality that has led to his position as one of the great living British artists. The 155 full-color reproductions of works by Bacon in this book were selected and supervised by the artist himself and include all that is most significant and contemporary in his whole oeuvre. Michel Leiris, French ethnographer and writer, has prefaced the book with a perceptive essay on Bacon and his work, translated to English by John Weightman. 258 color illustrations in all. Printed in Spain. 128 pp including a listing of works.
