David Sylvester is one of the most brilliant critics of Bacon's art - his interpretations of Bacon's works are a very precious aid in understanding them. his monograph includes an essay by art critic David Sylvester and a selection of the paintings of Francis Bacon that illustrate the concepts that Sylvester explores. There is a brief but concise biography of Bacon at the end of the monograph that is insightful and meaningful in interpretation of the work of this renowned artist. Bacon's early work in 1943 is often linked to Picasso but the painting Figure Study II from 1945 would reveal a unique visual sensibility that demonstrates formalistic structures in the composition and yet expressionistic central content, a screaming head, and bold colour mastery.
