FRANCIS BACON Man and beast.
, Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2021 HB, 300 x 250 mm, 196 pages, 180 colour illustrations, English edition *new ISBN 9781912520558.
Explore Francis Bacon's visceral paintings, where the line between human and animal is constantly blurred, reminding us that our primal instincts lie just below the surface. Irish-born artist Francis Bacon was the horse-breeder's son who became one of the most important painters of the 20th century. An openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal, he was banished from his conservative family home by his father at 16. After that, he drifted through Berlin and Paris before establishing himself in London, with his formative years running parallel with some of the 20th century's most profoundly disturbing events. This powerful exhibition will focus on Bacon's unerring fascination with animals: how it both shaped his approach to the human body and distorted it; how, caught at the most extreme moments of existence, his figures are barely recognisable as either human or beast. It also explores how Bacon was mesmerised by animal movement, observing animals in the wild during trips to South Africa; filling his studio with wildlife books, and constantly referring to Eadweard Muybridge's 19th-century photographs of humans and animals in motion. Whether baboons or bulls, dogs or birds of prey, Bacon felt he could get closer to understanding the true nature of humankind by watching the uninhibited behaviour of animals. Spanning Bacon's 50-year career, highlights include some of Bacon's earliest works and his last-ever painting, alongside a trio of bullfight paintings which will be exhibited together for the first time. Seen together, these raw expressions of anxiety and instinct - both animal and human - feel poignantly relevant today. Exposition au Royal Academy, Londres, 22 janvier - 12 avril 2021
FRANCIS BACON L'Home et la Bête
, Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2021 HB, 300 x 250 mm, 196 pages, 180 colour illustrations, Texte en Francais. ISBN 9789462302747.
Francis Bacon est considéré comme un des peintres majeurs du XXe siècle. Une nouvelle exposition de ses tableaux à la Royal Academy explore le rôle des animaux - à commencer par l'animal humain - dans son oeuvre. En 1969, Bacon, qui a souvent peint des chiens et des chevaux, se tourne pour la première fois vers la corrida. Dans cette série d'oeuvres puissantes, les interactions entre l'homme et la bête s'avèrent dangereuses et cruelles, mais aussi d'une intimité dérangeante. Tous deux se contorsionnent dans cette lutte angoissée où l'érotisme n'est jamais loin. 'La corrida est comme la boxe, a dit Bacon. Un merveilleux apéritif pour l'amour.' Vingt-deux ans plus tard, un taureau solitaire sera le sujet de son dernier tableau. Dans cet ouvrage fascinant, qui apporte un complément significatif à la littérature sur Bacon, des spécialistes détaillent son approche des animaux et identifient ses diverses sources d'inspiration, dont la littérature surréaliste et les photographies d'Eadweard Muybridge. Selon eux, en montrant des animaux dans un état de vulnérabilité, de colère ou de mal-être, Bacon cherchait à pénétrer la condition humaine. Ce catalogue d'exposition important dévoile ce que les représentations animalières de Francis Bacon révèlent sur l'artiste - et la condition humaine.

Dit boek focust op de rol van dieren in het werk van Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Bacon schilderde vaak honden en paarden, en in 1969 voor het eerst een stierengevecht, een interactie tussen mens en dier die gevaarlijk en wreed is, maar ook verontrustend intiem. In deze publicatie identificeren deskundige auteurs Bacons inspiratiebronnen en bespreken ze zijn benadering van dieren in het onderzoek dat hij voerde naar de condition humaine.
