Francis Bacon (1909–1992) was a British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling, and emotionally charged imagery. His work often depicted distorted human figures, emphasizing themes of suffering, existentialism, and the fragility of the human condition.
The Hanover Gallery was an influential contemporary art gallery in London, active from 1947 to 1973. It was founded and directed by Erica Brausen, a German-born art dealer, and played a crucial role in introducing and promoting modern and avant-garde artists in Britain.
Francis Bacon’s exhibition at the Hanover Gallery in 1957, was a significant moment in his early career. It featured a series of paintings that further developed his distinctive style and themes, solidifying his reputation as a leading post-war artist.
