Francis Bacon | Head VI

Francis Bacon (1909–1992) — Head VI

Francis Bacon (1909–1992) was a Dublin-born British painter whose raw, distorted figures made him one of the defining figurative artists of the twentieth century. His triptych Three Studies of Lucian Freud sold for $142.4 million at Christie's New York in 2013.

Head VI (1949, Arts Council Collection) is the first of Bacon's Pope paintings, a figure in ceremonial robes, its mouth open in a scream, framed by cage-like lines. This limited edition, published by HENI in collaboration with the Estate of Francis Bacon, is a direct print on aluminium composite panel.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
