"This was the last painting Bacon made of a male nude seated with crossed legs. The pose had originated with John Deakin’s photographs of George Dyer taken in 1964." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.1348 Painting: Study for a Portrait of John Edwards, 1988
"This single canvas began as the left panel of a triptych. A photograph [...] shows Bacon with his ‘viewing frame’ for small triptychs, in which 80‑11 is on the left side." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.1214 Painting: Study for Self-Portrait, 1980 #art
"The warm palette is unusual. It signals a shift in the chromatics of the self-portraits, and the eschewal of the bright shirts worn in those of 1972 and 1973." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.1066 Painting: Three Studies for Self-Portrait, 1974 #artist
"The drawing of the man on a couch may be transitional between Deakin's photographs and a painting, or Bacon may have had photographs taken to conform with this conception." Francis Bacon: In Camera, Martin Harrison, pg 181 #FrancisBacon #artist #fineart #oiloncanvas
"If Bacon can be said to be represented by a 'signature image', it is the 'Screaming Pope', yet he came to regret his obsession with painting popes" Francis Bacon: In Camera, Martin Harrison, pg 92 Painting: Head VI, 1949 #FrancisBacon #artist #art #fineart #oiloncanvas
"Compare the light, ethereal Polaroid taken by Hamilton of Bacon with the dark infernal one taken by Bacon of Hamilton [...] The comparison demonstrates[...] Hamilton's belief that a photograph taken by an artist tends to 'really present his own personality'." Bacon Review, p44
"In a letter [...] Bacon urged that this painting be included in a retrospective exhibition of his work to tour the USA in 1989–90." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.982 Painting: Study for Portrait of Lucian Freud (sideways), 1971 #FrancisBacon #fineart
The final instalment of our KCL talk is out. In it Professor Alenka Zupančič discusses figures beyond typical representation, anxiety, fear of death and much more. Stay tuned for a post-talk discussion with Dr Ben Ware and Prof. Dany Nobus. youtube.com/watch?v=XHpLH6… #art #artist
"This is the earliest of six paintings of heads that were included in Bacon’s exhibition at the Hanover Gallery, London, in November 1949." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.180 Painting: Head 1, 1948 #FrancisBacon #artist #art #fineart #painting
"The strip that Bacon eliminated presumably showed more of the dog at the bottom right." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné (London: The Estate of Francis Bacon Publishing, 2016) p.134 Painting: Interior of a Room, c.1934 #FrancisBacon #artist #art #fineart
"George Dyer died in Paris on 24 October 1971 [...] The setting of the centre panel is based on a stairway in the Paris hotel in which Dyer died." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.988 Painting: In Memory of George Dyer, 1971 #FrancisBacon #art #fineart
Don't miss Prof @DanyNobus from @KingsCollegeLon's next talk, 'Francis Bacon’s Eyes: Blindness, Portraiture, and the Derangement of the Senses'. Delve into Bacon's self-analysis through art, chaired by Prof. Sacha Golob. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=VLGEMY… #FrancisBacon #art
"The head was cut from a large canvas, the remainder of which was found in Bacon’s studio after his death and is now with Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane." Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.704 Painting: Head’, c.1962 #FrancisBacon #art #fineart
"The forms in the few paintings by Bacon that survive from the period 1933 to 1944 underline his reliance on Picasso’s biomorphs [...] Unusually for Bacon, the painting is varnished" Martin Harrison, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné p.136 Painting: Figures in a Garden, c.1935
"Bacon considered this his most successful use of 'shuttering'." Francis Bacon: In Camera, Martin Harrison, pg 160 Painting: Sketch for a Portrait of Lisa (1955) #FrancisBacon #artist #art #fineart #oiloncanvas #artoftheday #oiloncanvaspainting #painting
Quote From: David Sylvester, Interviews with Francis Bacon (Thames & Hudson, 2008). Painting featured: Figure Study I, 1945-46 #FrancisBacon #artist #art #fineart #oiloncanvas #artoftheday #oiloncanvaspainting #oiloncanvaspaintings #painting
"In addition to the space of Bacon's Reece Mews stairwell, this painting incorporates references to the light-switch and unshaded light-bulb in his studio." Francis Bacon: In Camera, Martin Harrison, pg 116 Painting: Study of the Human Body (Man Turning on Light)

In July's Catalogue Raisonné Focus, we explore Portrait of Henrietta Moraes on a Blue Couch, 1965, which deviates considerably from Bacon’s earlier paintings of the nude Moraes lying on beds, and does not appear to have relied on John Deakin’s photographs. bit.ly/3PsBbK8
