This can be a challenging read given the writing style of the time. Bacon was a genius for his time and the number of classical historical references woven in can add to the challenge. To do the Essays justice, will need to reread them. Read full review

About the author (2005)

Francis Bacon was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1909. He emerged as one of the leading painters of the 20th century during the 40s and 50s. Bacon expanded the possibilities of figurative art with a bold, expressionistic style at a time when abstraction was the dominant mode. He was also one of the first artists to depict overtly homosexual themes. He stands as a towering figure in 20th-century art, having established a huge influence on younger generations of painters. He died in 1992.
