At Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
A painter's test sheet from Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio in London, photographed in 1980. The surface is a dynamic, abstract composition of numerous dabs, smears, and splotches of paint. Dominant warm shades of orange and red are complemented by contrasting patches of deep blue, cerulean, and magenta. Partially obscured by the layers of color, fine cursive handwriting—possibly Bacon’s own annotations—is visible across the off-white background.
