グッゲンハイム美術館のインスタグラム(guggenheim) - 10月28日 23時30分

Artist #FrancisBacon was born this day in 1909. The Guggenheim Museum held the first American museum retrospective of the English artist in 1963—this is the cover of the catalogue that accompanied the exhibition. In his essay, Senior Curator Lawrence Alloway explores the essence of Bacon's painting beyond the usual associations with the grotesque. Instead, he offers a different argument: Bacon was a realist painter of his time, closely tied into the Grand Manner and painters such as Manet, Van Gogh, Velasquez, and Titian. Bacon continued and evolved the central tradition of European figure painting at a time when abstraction was dominating the art world.
