Francis Bacon - The PortraitsFrancis Bacon was born in Dublin, Ireland to English parents. When F.Bacon grow up and was more freelance he then travelled to Berlinwere he spent most of his clock there. He then moved onto Paris, beforereturning to London and kickoff go forth as an interior designer. Baconnever attended art naturalise he only began his work in watercoloursabout 1926 27. An exhibition of plant by Pablo Picasso inspired himto make his first drawings and exposures. The influence of thebiomorphic figures in Picassos work is apparent in Bacons first majorpainting of his grow period Three Studies for Figures at the baseof a Crucifixion 1944.

Each of the colours contrasts well and gives a representationof a face. The shapes used in the composition of the painting aremostly round or even sphere shape. Bacon has used a lot of texture inthe paint to show the different elements, e.g. the thick white brushstroke represents the cheekbone and the dark stroke for under thechin.The process of the painting that Bacon has gone(p) through were sketchingout the outline of the face and the facial features then I imagine hetook the brush and with some force started to map out the face while
