Edition

Edition of 150 plus 25 Hors Commerce Proofs

This lithograph derives from Bacon's intense explorations of the distorted human form, depicting a contorted figure rendered in the artist's characteristic style of twisted anatomy and raw physicality. The work captures a body caught in an ambiguous state between motion and collapse, executed with fluid gestures that blur the boundary between figuration and abstraction. The lithographic medium on Arches paper allows for rich tonal variations, with areas of deep shadow contrasting against lighter passages that seem to dissolve the figure's edges into the surrounding space. Created during a particularly productive period in Bacon's career, this work exemplifies his lifelong fascination with the vulnerable human condition and bodily existence. The 1981 date places it among his mature investigations into how flesh registers experience and emotion. As a lithograph, it offers collectors an accessible entry point into Bacon's powerful visual language while maintaining the immediacy and gestural energy of his larger paintings. The work's modest scale belies its psychological intensity and connection to his broader artistic legacy. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
