Coco Rocha by Chris Nicholls | Flare April 2010 // Francis Bacon: The Observer Profile, The Observer Weekend Review, Sunday, 27th May, 1962
Though nothing alike, the shape and color story of these two works are very similar. Bacon was one of those artists from the fifties who enjoyed testing the conservative limits of mainstream art. The interesting thing is that I'd still guess a work like this that showcases meat in such an upfront manner would make some conventional art-viewers uncomfortable.
