Martin Harrison, the foremost expert on Bacon, brings a new light to a somewhat unexpected side of the artist's life and work. It was in Paris in 1927, at an exhibition dedicated to Picasso, that Francis Bacon grasped his vocation as a painter. In 1946, he moved to Monaco on the French Riviera where he lived for four years, his time in the Principality marking a turning point in his art; with his \"popes\" series, he became a painter of the human figure. In Paris he befriended artists and intellectuals, such as Giacometti and Leiris, whilst the city would become the setting for the crystalisation of his reputation in 1971 with the retrospective at the Grand Palais. In 1975, Bacon would take a studio in the Marais district. This bilingual publication--co-published by Albin Michel and The Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation--tells of Bacon's deep ties with France and Monaco, and has been overseen by Martin Harrison, author of \u003ci\u003eFrancis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Harrison \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eFrancis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné\u003c\/i\u003e and the curator of the exhibition on Bacon, Paris, and Monaco. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.8 x 8.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53733476270444,"sku":"9780956873880","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/3019\/6844\/files\/1713a139d04dd7c73fe21146caf47fbe.webp?v=1778335307","url":"https:\/\/pattansenterprise.com\/products\/francis-bacon-france-and-monaco-hardcover","provider":"Pattansenterprise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
