Interviste a Francis Bacon

From 1962 to 1986, the well-known art critic David Sylvester held nine interviews with an original and controversial leader of the contemporary European art scene: the English painter of Irish origin Francis Bacon.
This volume is a fundamental reference point for artists and critics alike, but it is also aimed at anyone who wishes to understand this artistic and existential development that was clearly engaged in exposing the truth of human conditions.
Sylvester's fascinating approach opens the door to the world of Bacon, scrutinizing the work of a painter who revealed the disturbing face modern man, freeing him from any masks or comforting illusions.
This richly illustrated edition contains nine interviews, four of which are being published for the first time.
