Francis Bacon ( 1909 - 1992 ) was an Irish born British figurative painter known for his emotionally charged raw imagery, fixation on personal motifs, and heavy experimentation. He is one of the most unique, engaging figurative painters to emerge during the post war period. Inspired by both the old masters and Surrealism, the self taught artist's work is remarkably individual and personalized.
In 1963, a retrospective exhibition at The Guggenheim Museum New York brought international prestige, which continued until his death in 1992 in Madrid Spain. Artworks by Bacon are held in the collections of many of the most prestigious museums worldwide including The Museum of Modern Art New York, The Tate Gallery London, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Hugh Lane Dublin, and the Albertina Vienna, among many others.
