How did Francis Bacon influence art?
The emotional intensity of Francis Bacon’s work continues to inspire artists today. Bacon was a British painter and printmaker whose works are figurative, often contortive, and even somewhat disturbing. His goal was to create art that revealed what was behind the human facade and to evoke strong feelings in the viewer. Find a collection of Francis Bacon paintings and prints on 1stDibs.
