Opis

After Francis Bacon is the first book to consider how the uncritical reception of David Sylvester's interviews has shaped interpretations of Bacon's work. Nicholas Chare moves beyond the interviews' limiting effects to offer new readings of the artist's works, primarily based on themes of sexuality and synaesthesia. Chare also contributes to contemporary debates about creative writing in art history; and suggests new avenues of research in Bacon studies.
