work on paper attributed to francis bacon
first edition, 2000.
"bacon's eye" offers a rare insight into francis bacon’s creative process through a distinctive collection of sketches and altered images from the barry joule archive. given by bacon to his friend barry joule shortly before his death, the collection—comprising 70 oil sketches and over 900 modified documents—illuminates bacon’s working methods and personal obsessions. although there has been ongoing debate regarding the origins of the work, this book, alongside an exhibition at the barbican gallery, encourages readers to engage with these contested pieces and reflect on their place within bacon’s broader legacy.
