Book Reviews of Francis Bacon in the 1950s
Book Review: Always interesting....
Summary: 5 Stars
There is really not much to the book to be honest. There are about 30 paintings decently reproduced -- all of them very interesting -- but without much commentary except for a few. (Though I quickly discovered Bacon's paintings are fun to psychoanalyze for yourself.) It provided a short interesting biography that I told my mother to read which afterward she stated,"he has a disease for which there is no name..." -- and I agreed. Finally, the book ends with some of Bacon's letters.
