The first exploration of Bacons compelling work during the key decade when he was attaining the height of his powersFrom the screaming heads and snarling chimpanzees of the late 1940s to the anonymous figures trapped in tortured isolation some ten years later, during one crucial decade British artist Francis Bacon created many of the most central and memorable images of his entire career. The artist enters the decade of the 1950s in search of himself and his true subject; he finishes ten years later having completed some of his great masterpieces and having acquired technical mastery over one of the most disturbing and revealing visions of the 20th century.This book brings both Bacon the man and Bacon the painter vividly to life, focusing for the first time on this key period in his development. Michael Peppiatt, the leading authority on Bacon and a close friend of the artist for thirty years, reveals essential keys to understanding Bacons mysterious and subversive art. The book presents and assesses a wide range of paintings (many of them rarely seen before) representing all of Bacons major themes during the 1950s. Also included is an account of the artists life in the 1950s.Published in association with the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia, NorwichExhibition Schedule:Milwaukee Art Museum (January 29 April 15, 2007)AlbrightKnox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York (May 5 July 30, 2007)

I was excited to read 'Francis Bacon in the 1950s', but the book arrived with a few pages crinkled and the cover slightly bent. The content is decent but not as engaging as I hoped. It's more academic than the personal touch I wanted. Disappointed.

Interesting, but a Bit Dense
While 'Francis Bacon in the 1950s' offers fascinating insights into the artist's life, I found some parts of the book a little hard to get through. There’s a lot of detail that might overwhelm casual readers. Still, it’s worth a read if you're really into Bacon’s themes.
