Record Type: Person
Bacon, Francis (English painter, 1909-1992, born in Ireland)

Note: Bacon's abstracted figurations represented extreme psychological states. He began his career as an interior decorator and designer of modernist furniture, a career he abandoned ca. 1931. He first gained acclaim as a painter in 1945, exhibiting "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of the Crucifixion" at the Lefevre Gallery in London. Most well-known is his series of "screaming popes" inspired by Velasquez's portrait of Pope Innocent X.
