Controversial in both life and art, Francis Bacon was one of the
most important painters of the 20th century. His monumental,
unsettling images have an extraordinary power to disturb, shock and
haunt the spectator, 'to unlock the valves of feeling and therefore
return the onlooker to life more violently'. Drawing on his
personal knowledge of Bacon's inspirations, intentions and working
methods, David Sylvester surveys the development of the work from
1933 to the early 1990s, and discusses critically a number of its
crucial aspects.He also reproduces previously unpublished extracts
from his celebrated conversations with Bacon in which the artist
speaks about himself, modern painters and the art of the past.
Finally, Sylvester gives a brief account of Bacon's life,
correcting certain errors that elsewhere have been presented as
facts. Divided into the sections 'Review', 'Reflections',
'Fragments of Talk' and 'Biographical Note', Looking Back at
Francis Bacon is a unique portrait of one of the creative geniuses
of our age by a writer of comparable distinction.
