This February, the Museo del Prado will be opening a major exhibition on Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Intended to coincide with the centenary of the artist’s birth, it has been organised by Tate Britain in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, where it will be shown after Madrid.
As at Tate Britain, the Prado version will include around 60 paintings, including unique works and fifteen of his most important triptychs, in addition to an important body of documentary material from his studio that reveals and analyses the sources of his compositions and his most fundamental ideas.The exhibition opens with the artist’s early years at the start of his career around 1946-1949 and ends with the last phase of his life in 1991. It is organised into various sections that aim to present his obsessive interests over succeeding periods and to offer a precise and dispassionate vision of his wide-ranging artistic interests. Under the headings of Animal Nature, Anxieties, Crucifixion, Crisis, Portrait, and Epic, these sections bring together some of Bacon’s most profound and shocking compositions. A number of his themes, such as the passing of time, death and the fragility of human nature in its corporal aspect, violence, sex, friendship and isolation are to be found in this exhibition, which also reveals the outstanding quality and technical mastery of the work of Francis Bacon, who was undoubtedly one of the great painters of western art.
