Description:

Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1901, this prominent British painter and printmaker created controversial art until his death in 1992. Bacon's figures can be described as distorted, fleshy masses in anguish; these shocking and unsettling images are his representation of the evils and the devastation of the human condition. This lithograph in colors, on Arches paper, with full margins, signed and numbered 110/180 in pencil, published by Galerie Maeght-Lelong, Paris with wide margins, the palest light-staining, otherwise in very good condition, gold wood framed with glass. Provenance: Christie's Auction, 9/2005.

Condition:

Very Good. Slight overall fading due to normal display conditions.
