Francis Bacon incunabula

"This large-format book consists of clippings from magazines, newspapers, advertisements, and other documents culled from the cluttered studio of Irish-born artist Francis Bacon, who died at the age of 82 in Madrid, Spain, in 1992. Known for his bold, severe, and often violent imagery, Bacon relied on many of these pictures for inspiration in his paintings. Harrison (In Camera: Francis Bacon) and independent scholar Daniels, both working on a forthcoming catalogue raisonn on Bacon's paintings, contribute introductory essays that offer significant and curious insights into the inner life and work of the artist. The editors carefully arrange many of these "working documents" and annotate them at the end of the book. Beautifully designed and printed, this will be helpful to anyone studying the painter and his work. A welcome addition to all major art collections.-Raymond Bial, First Light Photography, Urbana, IL"--Library Journal Reviews.
