Francis Bacon by Martine Hammer
Francis Bacon is celebrated as one of the most important British artists of the twentieth century. From the 1940s to his death in 1992, he worked consistently as a painter, ignoring other passing, fashionable trends in art. Throughout his career, the human figure was the dominant subject in his work: his paintings of men and women go far beyond a simple likeness and instead are portraits of complex psychological states. In two essays, this book examines forty of some of his most intense works: his small-format portraits.
Martin Hammer is a senior lecturer in art history at the University of Edinburgh. He has curated a show on the artist, Graham Sutherland, for Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, which will coincide with the publication of his book, Bacon and Sutherland in 2005. He and Christina Lodder co-authored Constructing Modernity: the Art and Career of Naum Gabo, 2000. Richard Calvocoressi is Director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. He has written extensively on twentieth-century art and his published works include books on Lucian Freud, Magritte and, most recently, the photographer, Lee Miller.
