During his lifetime, Francis Bacon maintained that he painted directly onto canvas without the benefit of preparatory studies. Since his death in 1992, however, several groups of works on paper have come to light, offering amazing new insights into Bacon's working methods and personal obsessions. "Bacon's Eye" showcases a unique collectiion of works on paper that were bundled up and given by the artist to his friend Barry Joule just prior to his death. This collection includes a remarkable album of 70 oil sketches that relate to his work from the '50s and '60s, as well as over 900 "working documents": images torn from books, magazines and newspapers that have been painted and sketched over, revealing an artist's-eye-view of some of the most important people and events of the 20th century. As of yet, these works have not been officially recognized as being by Bacon. Permission to to show these works alongside finished paintings was denied by the Bacon Estate. The gallery, 21 Publishing, and a host of Bacon experts firmly believe in the authenticity of these works. This book, along with an exhibition at the Barbican Gallery in London, are a means of allowing the public to judge for itself.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Softcover. Condition: Very good, binding sound, no inscriptions. 112pp. Many colour illustrations. This catalogue was produced to accompany the exhibtion of papers, photographs, sketches and collages allegedly given by Francis Bacon to his friend Barry Joule just a few days before he died in 1992. The papers were controversial as during his lifetime Bacon always said that he did not draw, making attribution difficult. However, if officially recognised, the papers would revolutionise the understanding of Bacon's work. The papers are to date (2022) still not completely officially recognised, particularly by the Francis Bacon Estate. Seller Inventory # 007583

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. Este catálogo acompaña la exposición de papeles, fotografías, bocetos y collages supuestamente entregados por Francis Bacon a su amigo Barry Joule pocos días antes de morir en 1992. Los papeles fueron objeto de controversia, ya que en vida Bacon siempre dijo que no dibujaba, lo que dificultaba su atribución. Sin embargo, si se reconocieran oficialmente, revolucionarían la comprensión de la obra de Bacon. A día de hoy (2022), los documentos aún no han sido reconocidos oficialmente, en particular por el patrimonio de Francis Bacon. Editado por Georgia Mazower. Prólogo de John Hoole.
