Presents J…onathan Littell's "Triptych: Three Studies After Francis Bacon". Three exquisite, masterly essays on possibly the greatest British portrait painter - and one of the iconic figures of Modern Art. "Jonathan Littell, the author of the controversial novel, 'The Kindly Ones', helps us to understand what we experience when we stand before a Bacon painting. A populist art critic in the tradition of Robert Hughes and Simon Schama, Littell reveals the life behind the art: Bacon's Irish childhood, his obsession with Velazquez, and the catastrophe of his lover George Dyer's suicide, inspiring his most famous triptych. Always in the background is the author himself: Haunting a Bacon Exhibition at the Prado, tracking down Bacon's sources, sitting in a cafe and thinking about how we see. In this gem-like meditation on one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Littell has made art criticism a living story" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Francis Bacon and Jonathan Littell collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws ("Very Good"). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the best books on the art and achievement of the greatest British painter of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 1907903585. no.
