Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews studio. London 1980.

Francis Bacon stands formally in a dark suit at the center of his chaotic Reece Mews studio, London, 1980. Photographed with a fisheye lens that exaggerates the enveloping mess, his composed posture creates a striking contrast with the wild, creative disarray. The floor is buried under a layer of paint cans, brushes, and books, while grimy, paint-splattered walls surround him. A large, round mirror hangs to the left, reflecting the artist’s famously cluttered workspace.

Artworks:

"Metropolitan Triptych 1974-77" (a version with a figure in the foreground), 1980? (similar Sabatier 4)
"Triptych August 1972" (Sabatier 23)
