Francis Bacon is part of a triptych with self-portraits at his Reece Mews studio in London 1980.
Francis Bacon stands in his cluttered Reece Mews studio in London, 1980, looking directly at the camera. Dressed in a gray suit and a light blue and white ascot, he is positioned beside a triptych of his self-portraits resting on a tall wooden easel. The faces in the gold-framed painting are heavily distorted by swirling, visceral brushstrokes. The studio is chaotic, with empty canvas stretchers stacked against a wall and debris strewn across the floor beneath the stark light of a single bare bulb.
