Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
Francis Bacon stands in his notoriously chaotic Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Impeccably dressed in a dark suit and tie, he leans with a contemplative expression against a paint-splattered wall. The room is a scene of creative disarray: walls bear smears and test patches of color, while the floor is a landscape of discarded paper, paint cans, and used tubes. The powerful contrast between the dapper artist and his wildly disordered workspace is illuminated by the stark light of a bare bulb.
