Krátky popis
A collection of essays that opens up new connections between
Francis Bacon’s art and the ideas of key thinkers.Francis Bacon is
undoubtedly one of the most important artists of the twentieth
century. In his paintings, Bacon radically disfigures his subjects,
making them all but unrecognizable. This is no mere stylistic
quirk, but the expression of a deeply held aesthetic vision. For
Bacon, the essence of a subject can only be captured in the
distorted recording of its appearance. His disfigurations are
therefore, as he himself says, attempts to bring back the intensity
of reality, to paint images that are ‘truer than the literal
truth’. In this groundbreaking collection of essays, some of
today’s leading philosophers and psychoanalytic theorists go to
work on Bacon. They do to the artist what the artist does to his
own figures: they disfigure and distort him, twisting and turning
him into something new and previously unseen. This strategy of
disfiguration blasts Bacon out of his traditional contexts, opening
up new connections between his art and the ideas of key thinkers,
including Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Freud, Canguilhem,
Genet, Lacan, Adorno and Althusser. The results are revelatory,
allowing us to transform our understanding not only of Bacon but
also of modernism itself.
