Francis Bacon in Milan
In Palazzo Reale, from March 4 to June 29, 2008, you can admire the anthological show on Francis Bacon.
The exhibition represents a summary of the works of one of the best contemporary artists able to describe modern man through strong images and, at the same time, expressivity, that originates from a personal and intimate understanding of being.
Bacon underlines expression and authenticity, sometimes, to the detriment of realism; overall, the show highlights about thirty of its works from the beginning to the end of his life. Particular attention is paid to the paintings from WWII with "Head", which made Bacon famous, renewing the traditional Western figurative by representing the violence and agony of man. Among the masters that Bacon used as inspiration were Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Cézanne and Velàzquez, whose "Portrait of Pope Innocent X" he considered to be a masterpiece, showing the metaphor of the human condition. From the 70s, the period of the artist's maturity, we can admire his triptychs, works in which society is described in a provocatory and disconcerting manner.
