Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews kitchen. London 1978.

Francis Bacon stands in his cluttered Reece Mews kitchen in London, 1978. Dressed in a grey turtleneck sweater, he looks up toward the camera while holding a patterned cup. The high-contrast, black-and-white photograph captures the everyday items that fill the space around him, including packages of Buitoni spaghetti and a collection of bottles and jars. Direct lighting creates strong shadows on his face and in the room, lending the image a grainy, candid quality.
