Product Description
"Francis Bacon:The Papal Portraits of 1953" explores the longest series of paintings made by the British artist Francis Bacon. For the first time in history, the exhibition and this accompanying book brought together all eight "Study for Portrait" paintings, as well as the famous "Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X" from 1953. Also included are several other works from the period. An essay by Hugh M. Davies, who has written extensively about Bacon, discusses his influences and sources of imagery for this body of work. Also included is a previously unpublished interview with Bacon that Davies conducted more than 25 years ago that covers a variety of topics. The book, rounded out with a chronology and selected bibliography, marks a major step forward in the study of this vitally important and influential 20th-century master.

An ImportantExamination of the Oeuvre of Francis Bacon
Just when you thought you had every treatise about the edgy painter of confrontational imagery from the brush of Francis Bacon, up pops this well designed and written book on just how this amazing artist approached an image, an idea, and carried that to completion.Written by Bacon scholar Hugh Marlais Davies and including an interview with the artist that to my knowledge finds its first publication in this volume, this small but impressive book served as a catalogue for the exhibition FRANCIS BACON: THE PAPAL PORTRAITS OF 1953 presented by the Museum of Contemporary art of San Diego in La Jolla, California in 2001.

The exhibition, and this accompanying catalogue, was powerful in that it focused on eight studies for the papal series (emphasizing the response to Velasquez' popes) that Bacon painted in three weeks time in 1953.Here is all of the energy and agony, the distillation of Bacon's view of the Church and the Universe, and the opportunity to scrutinize Bacon's technique of drawing to painting that makes these portrait studies so important to artist, scholar and art lover alike.

As in the exhibition, the portraits are ordered in a circular fashion in the main hall, and this installation is reproduced well in this volume.Then each portrait study is individually presented with the exceptionally educational essay by Davies. One leaves this books the same way the exhibition impressed the visitors - informed, appalled, fascinated and moved.An important document in the books on the life and works of Francis Bacon.Grady Harp, March 05

The Historical Work on the "Scientific Method"
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was a Christian lawyer who made his mark on history by writing the "Great Instauration" which included "the New Organon". "The New Organon" (1620) and the rest of the "Great Instauration" was to be one of his last contributions to man and it was to be one of his greatest critiques of knowledge, and it's inefficiency from the time of the ancients til then on acquiring information on natural phenomenon, at the time aside from his other critiques of knowledge such as "The Advancement on Learning" and others found in Francis Bacon: The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics). The knowledge that he was critiquing was the knowledge of nature ("Natural Philosophy" was the common term up to the 20th century) or as it is called today, "Science". (the word "Science" comes from the Latin word "scientia" literally meaning"knowledge")

"The New Organon" is the "Scientific Method", or inductive reasoning, and its variants. After the publication, knowledge of nature was to be formally derived from experiences of the senses via systematic experiments, systematic inquiry, formation of efficient axioms, and organized to further increase inquiry and increase certainty for controlling and understandingnature. Also, according to Francis Bacon, studying nature and natural phenomenon was fulfilling God's purpose in man and nature - to discover and increase in knowledge, or as he called it, "The Divine Providence". Read Roger Bacon's (1214-1294) Opus Majus of Roger Bacon, Part 1 and Part 2 along with Isidore of Seville's Etymologies: Complete English Translation, Volume I and Volume II and earlier manifestations from ancient sources to see earlier and similar views of "scientific methods" through time. For further research on excellent scientific advancements through time from Ancient to Medieval times please read some primary documents found here: A Sourcebook in Medieval Science (Source Books in the History of the Sciences) and The Mathematics of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, and Islam: A Sourcebook and Greek Science of the Hellenistic Era: A Sourcebook.

The book includes his vision for the structure of the "Great Instauration", "the New Organon", "Description of a Natural and Experimental History" and "Catalogue of Particular Histories by Title". The eloquent 1863 translation brings out Bacon's original voice with the power and the fury of the philosophers and the Christian rationalists.

The New Organon is divided into two books. Here is a summary of what you will find in Bacon's work on the "Scientific Method' and its variants:

Book 1 (Basically, Critiques of Knowledge):

Critiques of letting pure reason be the guide to acquiring knowledge of nature and redirecting to letting nature be the guide to interpreting nature; consider more than just anticipations in nature; the 4 Idols of understanding that give men false understanding, error, speculation: Idols of the Tribe, Cave, Marketplace, and Theatre (XXXIX-LXII); critique of Aristotle's manipulation of nature to suit his philosophy and lack of experimentation; full blown critiques of problems in the 3 classes of Rational Schools of Philosophy:Sophistry [dependence on wit] , Empirical [big claims, little evidence, dogmas], Superstitious [mixing weird theology and philosophy] (LXII-LXV); making a science of theBook of Genesis [in context of histime,Bacon saw this useless because there was no way to verify the origins of the universe, let alone archeology to validate stories in Genesis] (LXV); stupid ways of experimentation used up to his time, using God's creation of light in Genesis as a lens on how to enlighten and buffer the sciences via conducting 2 types of experimentation : Experimentation of Light and Fruit (LXX); things that distracted men from focusing on natural philosophy; benefits of discovery; bad memories of conflict between natural philosophy and religion, and Bacon's defense of compatibility between natural philosophy and religion (LXXIX); science being hindered the greatest by men thinking things impossible [plea for optimism in science for sake of discovery using Columbus as an example] (XCII); applying mathematics to nature; increasing natural knowledge fulfils Biblical prophecy from the Book of Daniel [Divine Providence] (XCIII); building axioms upon axioms as way of increasing knowledge of nature; examples of benefits of discovery in terms of technology (CX); applying the Scientific Method on politics, ethics, memory, etc. (CXXVII); comparative analysis; emphasis on history to further knowledge of nature and more.

Book 2 (Basically, Controlled experiments and examples of applications of his methods of inductionin analysis of information):

Types of systematic inquiry for interpretation of nature; investigating the nature of a spirit (VII); 2 kinds of axioms: Metaphysical and Physical (IX); experiments from axioms and axioms from experience; comparative tables of instances with similar, dissimilar, and missing natures; short procedures to try on these natures and things with similar and dissimilar natures to compare quality of substances; 27 Prerogative Instances that aid in interpreting nature carefully and correctly [divided into 2 parts:Operational aspects of science and Informational aspects of science]; with examples and wanderings of inquiry from Bacon on the nature of magnets, light, liquids, heat, and so on.

Overall, this is truly one of the greatest accomplishments in the realm of inquiries of nature and lays science where it belongs as true philosophy spliced witha bit of empiricism. Modern scientists and engineers can learn a lot from this work in terms of how to be humble and reasonable via experiments which are, in turn, based on experience via the senses and in the case of history, on the testimony of historians. Bacon's naturalism is not a metaphysical naturalism, but is instead a physical naturalism where his belief in God, the Bible, and nature are not in conflict, but are instead complementary anddesires for naturalists to be cautionary when interpreting both nature and Holy Writ. His criticism on empiricism should be worth buying the book. Science is more than just direct physical evidence, in fact science is metaphysical to be exact. Knowledge. Science includes indirect evidence, method, speculation, reasoning, interpretation, curiosity (not skepticism), and just basic philosophizing as well. But, ultimately, searching for consistency of ideas in hopes of reflecting nature's tendencies as best as possible is the main goal science. It is an attempt to simulate reality from using our minds and gathering information from nature just as we do when we smell organic compounds such as food or when we look at effects of heat on a candle.

It should be remembered that Science, Nature, and Technology are not the same thing nor are they synonymous to each other since Nature is superior to both Science and Technology. Nature is "physical" since nature gives only "raw" information. Science and Technology are both overwhelmingly "metaphysical" with a bit of empirical support since they both involve modeling and explanations.

For further reading on the nature of science and the methods please read: The Structure of Science: Problems in the Logic of Scientific Explanation (2nd edition), The Structure of Scientific Theories, Theories of Explanation, Four Decades of Scientific Explanation.

The keystone that all critically thinking empiricist must possess!!!
Francis Bacon's "The New Organon" is one of those books that entirely too few people sit down and read. That is a shame becuase if the lessons that he wrote down in this book were to be followed there would be considerably less strife when it comes to figuring out what's science and what is pseudoscience. I cannot state this enough it is a must read for anyone looking to review information on today's most pressing medical/science debates. ... Read more

Product Description
British artist Francis Bacon (1909-1992), one of the foremost artists of the 20th century, is known for his expressive figurative paintings. Perhaps Bacon's most famous image - the so-called "screaming pope" in Study after Vel zquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X (1953) - became the touchstone for the longest series of paintings in his career, the Papal Portraits of 1953. In 1953 "haunted and obsessed by the image...by its perfection", Bacon sought to reinvent Vel zquez's 17th-century Portrait of Pope Innocent X (1650) in the paintings that are the focus of this book. Francis Bacon replaced the grand, official state portrait with an intimate, spontaneous "candid camera" glimpse behind the well-ordered exterior. While the Spanish master Vel zquez portayed the pope ex cathedra, Bacon captured him in camera, as if behind a closed door or through a one-way mirror. This series of eight papal portraits, painted during a period of just a few weeks in the summer of 1953, was brought together for the first time by noted Bacon scholar Hugh M.Davies for a 1999 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, along with several other works from the same period, including Sphinx I and two Study after Vel zquez paintings from 1950. This book includes an essay by Davies, discussing the artist's influences and sources of imagery for the series, and a previously unpublished interview that Davies conducted with Bacon in 1973. ...

L'art mis en morceaux
Le style de Francis Bacon melange l'art d'antan, les artistes contemporains, le photojournalisme et le subconscient de Sigmund Freud. Par exemple, l'Etude d'apres le portrait du Pape Innocent X par Velazquez rappelle le Portrait du Cardinal Filippo Jacinto par Titian et, par des vetements ensanglantes, le style de l'egouttement par Jackson Pollock. Dans le Fragment de la crucifixion la figure qui bat les bras rappelle la Descente de la croix par Rubens et La chahut par Georges Seurat. Surtout dans ses peintures de la crucifixion du Christ, Francis Bacon devient photojournaliste, avec ses themes preferes de l'inhumanite, l'isolement, la trahison et le voyeurisme. Il devient psychanalyste dans le Portrait de Georges Dyer accroupi au style des baigneuses d'Edgar Degas, et dans l'Etude de la nue avec la figure dans le miroir c'est le style des voyeurs de l'arriere-scene par Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Alors lire le livre veut dire que l'on finit par apprendre un peu de l'histoire et de la technique de l'art.

Broken Art
FRANCIS BACON puts elements from the art of earlier centuries and the subconscious of Sigmund Freud into the bluntly powerful style of news photography. That style works for his themes of isolation, Peeping Toms, predatory people's inhumanity to others, and treachery, all of which can be found in his crucifixion scenes. I find his art cleverly disturbing, particularly in the way that he reworks Old and New Masters: Day- and Twilight-type figures from Michelangelo's de Medici tomb statues in "Triptych - studies of the human body"; Matthias Grunewald's "The mocking of Christ" in the bandaged eyes of the lone female witness to "Three studies for figures at the base of a crucifixion"; Titian's "Portrait of Cardinal Filippo Archinto" and Jackson Pollock-type drip in the curtain veiling and bloodspattered robe of "Study after Velazquez's portrait of Pope Innocent X"; Rubens' "Descent from the cross" and Georges Seurat's "La chahut" in the figure leaning over the T-shaped cross and the flapping arms showing successive motion in "Fragment of a crucifixion"; Diego Velazquez's "Las meninas" in the right panel-reflected artist of "Studies from the human body"; Rembrandt-type meat side in the European formal portrait-styled "Painting 1946"; Edgar Degas' tub-bathing women in "Portrait of George Dyer crouching"; Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec-type backstage observers in "Study of nude with figure in a mirror"; Marcel Duchamp's "The bride stripped bare by her bachelors, even (the large glass)" in the frustrated, mechanical love of "Three studies of figures on beds"; and Henri Michaux in "Statues and figures in a street" full of tiny dark figures. So Hugh Davies and Sally Yard's helpful text and well-chosen illustrations help reader understanding of what modern art is about and how one painter fits with other times. The authors help me go beyond theme, into art technique: their book applies Max Doerner's THE MATERIALS OF THE ARTIST AND THEIR USE IN PAINTING, Hazel Harrison's MASTER STROKES, and Waldemar Januszczak's TECHNIQUES OF THE WORLD'S GREAT PAINTERS. ...

Product Description
This exhibition catalogue is not a retrospective but rather an examination for the first time of the artist's work within a network of relationships and influences from the Old Masters to the artists of the twentieth century.

The eminent English painter Francis Bacon (19091992) is known for his brutal, haunting and grotesque portraits of man and beast. In this eyeopening study Bacon stands besides artists like Velazquez, Rembrandt, Titian, Ingres, Degas, Schiele, and Van Gogh - his real sources. To support this thesis, the text draws connections between Bacon and his predecessors according to themes: Bacon's papal portraits, the Motif of the Scream, Bacon and Surrealism, Mirrors and Reflections, the Cage Motif.This sumptuously illustrated book offers a firsttime study of a modernist's work in relation to the masterpieces of art history.

Amazing artist.....
Francis Bacon has been called the greatest poet of the second half of the 20th century, and even those who deeply dislike his work find it memorable and horribly impressive.He is an artist obsessed by the horror of existence and the terrible vulnerability of being.He professed to see no hope, and yet his very life is a denial of such despair, because creativity can never really come without some belief in the meaning of what is created.Certain images recur again and again in Bacon's paintings, and the best known is that of the screaming pope, after Velazquez's great portrait of Pope Innocent X.Bacon refused to study Velazquez's portrait, preferring instead to paint from his memory of that painting's authoritarian majesty.
On the front of this text (the pope's image) Bacon has pushed down to the bottom half of the canvas and squashed the pope low in his chair.Around him, Bacon has built the suggestion of a cage or cell.He has marked him out with an arrow, as if this clenched and tortured image was an exhibit in the artist's chamber of horrors.
Bacon has also drawn from another famous image, Rembrandt's great Carcass of Beef, and has hung the animal's flayed and bloody flesh on either side of this human animal.Rembrandt painted his carcass with reverence; Bacon must see these carcasses as raw meat-the pope as he will be-and dangles them, almost insouciantly, behind the papal chair.
What a fabulously interesting, tortured artist----1909-1992-Ireland/England.
Fantastic text!!!

A great master learns from the great masters
This book illustrates an exhibition held in 2004 at the Beyeler foundation in Basel, Switzerland. The subject is to confront Bacon's paintings to thegreat masters who influenced him (Velasquez,Titian, Goya, Ingres, Picasso, Giacometti...)and who were omnipresent in his studio through photos of works, often in black and white, pinned on the walls. Many illustrations show that nothing Bacon painted sprang out of the blue and that he was a keen student of art history. The book shows how he transcends what his predecessors already expressed (passion, anxiety, the absurdity of life, the frailty of the human being...) and why he was one of the most powerful artists of the XXth century.

not what i expected
there are a lot of writings in this book, and a lot of other's art, but as far as francis bacon goes, if you want a book of his works, this is not a good book to get. the majority of the images are of all kinds of artists that they talk about in contrast with bacon's work. i was disappointed as well to the images they chose of bacon's work. not among my favorite at all. its a well made book, but not what i wanted, and now will have to buy another book souly on francis bacon

Just delicious!
Well, that's what we want in an art book- sensuality of paint, see the brushmarks, really good reproductions. I really enjoy this book.
This is a good chronicle of Bacon pushing the envelope of Painting- we see the manipulation of space and form as well as the darker side his subjects will explore. I've never readthe print part, I look at pictures and draw my own conclusions when dealing with books on serious painting. The reproductions are super, and well presented, so I highly reccomend.

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Influences on the Art of Francis Bacon
Fortunate were the ones who were privileged to see the exhibition FRANCIS BACON AND THE TRADITION OF ART in Vienna at the Kunsthistorisches Museum or at the Foundation Beyeler in Basel in 2003 and 2004.What an experience that must have been.Curator Barbara Steffen assembled on of the most comprehensive surveys of the works of Bacon and presented them in context with the ideas and works of art that influenced Bacon's genius. In Steffen's words 'This exhibit is the first opportunity to examine his works side by side with the artists who inspired him, and in this way to cast at least some light on how he conceived and devised his paintings'.

The legacy of this exhibition is well preserved in this stunning 'catalogue' book of the same title as the exhibition.The dignity of the effort is suggested in the numerous essays that accompany the book, essays by Steffen herself (The Papal Portraits, Veils and Striations as Motifs of Isolation, The Scream, The Cage Motif, The Representation of the Body: Velazquez - Bacon, Mirrors and Reflections); Verena Gamper (Bacon's Realism after Van Gogh, The Motif of the Crucifixion in Triptych Format, The Ambivalent Function of the Shadow); Olivier Berggruen (Bacon, Picasso and Surrealism, The Representative Portrait); Margarita Cappock (The Round, Bacon and Ingres, The Motif of Meat and Flesh); Alexandra Hennig (Francis Bacon: Portraiture After Representation).The quality of writing is scholarly and immensely readable. It is important to list these essays because they so well describe the flavor of this book and of the exhibition's thesis.

But the glory of the book is in the presentation of myriad photographs, reproductions of the works of all of the artists who informed Bacon's oeuvre, photographs of Bacon and his studio and friends, and the drawings and paintings of Bacon, many in gatefold presentation. The color reproduction is excellent and there are generous samplings of details to punctuate the writers' points.

Though there are many books about Bacon and of Bacon's paintings, few compare to this unique stance and enormity of information. Appendices to the book include the Interviews with Bacon by David Sylvester and by Michel Archimbaud as well as a fine biography, catalogue of exhibitions and bibliography.Even for those whose library shelves bulge with books on Bacon, this magnificent volume is indispensable. Highly recommended.Grady Harp, January 06 ... Read more

The first in-depth survey of Bacon's 7,000+ piece studio
His London studio, portrayed on the cover of FRANCIS BACON'S STUDIO, may look like a mess, but Francis Bacon was one of the most significant post-war painters and his studio, both home and workplace, was key to producing his art. His studio housed thousands of items central to his works and has been untouched since his death in 1992: it was donated in 1998 to the Dublin City Gallery and today curators have made it into a showpiece and work of art itself. The studio's deconstruction revealed over 7,500 objects from photos to illustrated publications, slashed canvases and his final unfinished work: FRANCIS BACON'S STUDIO provides the first in-depth survey of the studio and is essential for art library holdings and any student of Bacon's works.

An Even More In-Depth Coverage of Bacon's Infamous Studio
Though there have been several excellent books written about the contents of Francis Bacon's 7 Reece Mews studio in London, the birthplace of his masterpiece paintings that still haunt the public and the historian minds, this hefty volume by Margarita Cappock offers more.Originally conceived as the book to document the 1998 move of Bacon's studio form Kensington, London to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin where it remains an historic site, Cappock sorts and sifts through the bits of treasure and trash that influenced Bacon's inspiration for his future paintings.

Cappock betters the other books on this subject by illuminating the chards and tatters that most significantly influenced Bacon's thought development and because the book is so extensively illustrated, she is able to place side by side the instigating artifacts with the complete works.This book is by far the most intensive and exhaustive study of the influence of Bacon's studio and its detrituson the evolution of Bacon's paintings and as such belongs in the library of all Bacon scholars and enthusiasts.Highly Recommended.
