Happy Birthday Francis Bacon, born #onthisday 1909

This painting, 'Study for a Portrait' 1952 which has also been known as 'Businessman I' 1952 or 'Man’s Head' 1952, shows the head and shoulders of an unidentified male figure wearing glasses, a white shirt, a suit jacket and a tie. The man appears to be screaming directly at a viewer, his mouth wide open and his teeth exposed. He is screened from the chalky darkness behind him by a blue curtain hung from a pink rail at eye-level, and his head is blurred by repeated erasure and repainting. Lines of white, red and blue paint are arranged like an angular harness on the figure, extending the lines of the suit and creating a frame over its wearer. From 1947 until the end of his career Francis Bacon painted directly onto the #raw and #unprimed side of the #canvas (rather than using the smooth, receptive surface provided by primed canvas), and in this work he emphasised the #texture further, especially around the figure’s eyes and mouth, by rubbing sand into the #paint. #technique #SchoolofLondon #anxiety #screaming #ArtistBirthday #ArtistsBirthday #ArtistBirthdays #HappyBirthday
