100 Rs
Francis Bacon (1909 – 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling imagery.
Focusing on the human form, his subjects included crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in geometrical structures. He built up a reputation as one of the giants of contemporary art with his unique style.
Bacon's reputation has grown steadily, and his work is among the most acclaimed, expensive and sought-after on the art market.

About Portrait Of George Dyer – Francis Bacon Abstract Expressionist Painting
In 1971, six years before Bacon painted the portrait, Dyer had killed himself in the couple’s hotel room, just two days before the opening of Bacon’s first mid-career retrospective at the Grand Palais in Paris. Tormented by grief, Bacon returned frequently to Dyer’s image in the ensuing years, producing a series of Black Triptych portraits in the early 1970s.However, pierced by shafts of bright blue and yellow paint and smears of red pigment, Study for Portrait represents a shift in style for Bacon as he built a new life for himself in Paris.About the Posters
