The story

What Is Francis Bacon About?

The premise of Francis Bacon without spoilers.

Francis Bacon reshaped 20th‑century figurative painting, confronting viewers with distorted bodies, grimacing faces and vivid colour that reveal brutality, sexuality and existential dread. Author Melvyn Bragg follows the painter through a day that begins in his London studio, moves to his favourite pub, and ends in a Soho gambling club.
