Francis Bacon by Francis Giacobetti^ASSOULINE Hot

From late 1991 to early 1992, shortly before his death, Irish-British painter Francis Bacon participated in rare interviews and sittings with French photographer Francis Giacobetti. Giacobetti captured eerie images inspired by Bacon’s unsettling works. These photos, along with previously unreleased Bacon paintings, were exhibited in June 2003 at Marlborough Gallery in London. This volume presents the photographs and excerpts from their conversations, offering an intimate portrait of the disconcerting artist.
