Second version of the Triptych 1944: centre panel
A visceral and unsettling composition, this lithograph reproduces Bacon's iconic imagery of a contorted, screaming figure emerging from a dark, ambiguous void. The central panel of this monumental triptych presents a grotesque, fleshy form that blurs the boundary between the human and the monstrous, rendered with Bacon's characteristic raw intensity. Printed in colours on Arches paper, the work demonstrates the artist's masterful translation of his deeply psychological oil painting into the lithographic medium.
