Francis Bacon (artist)
Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling imagery. Focusing on the human form, his subjects included Crucifixion of Jesus, crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in geometrical structures. Rejecting various classifications of his work, Bacon said he strove to render "the brutality of fact." He built up a reputation as one of the giants of contemporary art with his unique style. Bacon said that he saw images "in series", and his work, which numbers in the region of 590 extant paintings along with many others he destroyed,Harrison, Martin.Out of the Black Cavern. Christie's.

Head III
''Head III'' is an oil painting by Francis Bacon, one of series of works made in 1949 for his first one-man exhibition at the Hanover Gallery, in London. As with the other six paintings in the series, it focuses on the disembodied head of male figure, who looks out with a penetrating gaze, but is fixed against an isolating, flat, nondescript background, while also enfolded by hazy horizontal foreground curtain-like folds which seems to function like a surrounding cage.Davies; Yard, 19 ''Head III'' was first exhibited in November 1949 at the Hanover in a showing commissioned by one of the artist's early champions, Erica Brausen.Zweite, 74 The six head paintings were painted during a short period of time, when Bacon was under pressure to provide works for the Hanover exhibition. Of the series, '' Head I'', ''Head II'', and ''Head VI'' are today seen as artistically successful, with ''Head VI'' as ground breaking, and a direct precursor to Bacon's seminal 1950s many representations ...

Two Figures (1953)
''Two Figures (1953)'' (catalogue raisonné, CR 53-24) is an oil painting by Francis Bacon (artist), Francis Bacon, sometimes known as ''Two Figures on a Bed'' (or, affectionately, "The Buggers"). It measures , and is in a private collection. The painting depicts two naked men grappling with each other on a disarrayed bed. One man is astride and gripping the second, lying on his side and exclaiming in agony or perhaps ecstasy. The figures and the bed are painted in light shades of white, blue, pink and lilac on a deep blue background, blurred as if in motion. Apart from the men and the bed, with the bed's brown head and foot boards to either side, the painting is set in an otherwise a featureless and windowless space demarcated by a frame of white lines, and veiled behind a series of vertical lines like a sheer curtain. The composition was based on a motion series of photographs of men wrestling published by Eadweard Muybridge in the 1880s, although that ostensible explanati ...
