About the Item

Original lithograph in colours on Arches paper, with full margins, framed Signed by the artist in pencil, lower right on recto Image: 68 x 49 cm, Sheet: 94.5 x 67.9 cm, Framed: 105.3 x 85.4 cm Edition of 180 + 30 HC Published by Galerie Lelong, Paris catalog raisonné reference (Sabatier 22; Orozco 39) The protagonist of this piece is John Edwards, the artist's friend, lover, and muse. Before a dark doorway stands a male figure that appears to be cut and pasted onto the space as if it was a collage. The shadow of the subject on the ground is almost as sold and concrete as the figure itself. One can also see that Bacon has marked a rectangular mat shape on the floor on which to place the figure. It suggests that the figure might disappear through the opening of the door into nothingness.
