Francis Bacon

Deuxième version du triptyque 1944 (Second Version of the Triptych 1944)

Three large-scale lithographs comprising Bacon's haunting revisitation of his seminal 1944 work, depicting tormented, biomorphic figures erupting from stark, undefined spaces with raw visceral intensity. The screaming, contorted forms — part human, part beast — are rendered in Bacon's signature style of smeared, fleshy tones set against flat, unmodulated backgrounds, evoking themes of existential anguish and postwar trauma. Each print is signed and numbered 7/60 in pencil, part of a limited edition of 60, alongside 23 artist's proofs.
