Featuring more than 55 works from the 1950s onwards, this exhibition exploreed Francis Bacon\u2019s deep connection to portraiture and how he challenged traditional definitions of the genre.<\/p>\n

From his responses to portraiture by earlier artists, to large-scale paintings memorialising lost lovers, works from private and public collections will showcase Bacon\u2019s life story. Accompanied by the artist\u2019s self-portraits, sitters include Lucian Freud, Isabel Rawsthorne and lovers Peter Lacy and George Dyer.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
