Francis Bacon was an Irish-born British figurative painter. His artwork is known for its bold, austere, homoerotic and often violent or nightmarish imagery, which typically shows room-bound masculine figures isolated in glass or steel geometrical cages set against flat, nondescript backgrounds.
This image shows a self portrait of Francis Bacon. It was painted in 1971. I think the way the face is kind of deformed makes the image different and interesting as it grabs the viewers attention. This image was drawn using oil on canvas. I like the way the face is dark but then light in some places which show the contours such as the nose and the eyes.
