"Study for Self-Portrait" at Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
A gold-framed triptych, Francis Bacon's "Study for Self-Portrait," rests on a paint-splattered easel in his Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Two panels contain dark, distorted portraits of a man, his face smeared by swirling brushstrokes against a black background. The rightmost panel is lighter and more abstract. Numerous stacked canvas stretchers lean against the paint-splattered walls of the cluttered studio.
