Francis Bacon in his famously chaotic Reece Mews studio, London, 1980. Wearing a tan jacket over a dark turtleneck, he stands with a direct gaze beside his monumental painting, "Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey". The artwork rests on a wheeled support amidst a dense landscape of paint splatters, discarded papers, and art supplies covering the concrete floor. A single bare light bulb hangs from a high, dark ceiling, illuminating the scene of creative intensity.
