Woman by Francis Bacon

Woman by Francis Bacon

Female portraits of the artist will begin to write later in 1964-1967, he will write etudes Isabel Raustorner, Henrietta Moraes and others. The picture of Francis Bacon “Woman” is not a portrait of a specific person, but the image of a woman in general in the view of an expressionist artist and unacceptable for the viewer, brought up on canvases by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci or Raphael.

Studying the artist’s creative biography, we do not come across any facts of special affection for any girl or mature woman, a passion that would inspire the artist to create his Mona Lisa, capturing on the canvas the magical charm of a smile or the touching innocence of attracting lips. To each his own.
