This thoroughly illustrated 328-page monograph by a personal friend of the artist, translated from the French original, is a perfect companion to the more academic Inside Francis Bacon. Detailing Bacon's artistic journey from early design work in the 1920s to the disturbing, emotive triptychs of the 1980s, this philosophical, poetic and artistic stroll through the iconic artist's mind, with 160 images including Three Studies for a Crucifixion, this is also the ideal guide for anyone new to Bacon. ― Arts & Collections

…an introductory collection of Bacon's paintings which will doubtlessly be welcome to the bookshelves of budding connoisseurs of 20th-century art. This is an attractive book for newcomers to Bacon's paintings who are drawn to the rich and violent dance of his thick paint, his distorted and confined figures immersed in fields of cheerful color and open space. Plenty of well-chosen images from the body of work dip into the catalogue of Bacon's astonishing oeuvre....it is refreshing to read a book about him that finds sensual literary pleasure in the work itself rather than exploiting sleazy tales about its maker. Like Bacon, Peyr? straddles the fearful space between abstraction and representation with love and loathing. ― MutualArt

"Fans of Francis Bacon, rejoice: a new publication by the French poet and author Yves Peyr?, Francis Bacon Or the Measure of Excess, out now from ACC Books, offers a touching and intimate tribute to the Irish-born English painter who has become one of the most sought-after artists in history." - Artnet News

An intimate insight into the life and work of Francis Bacon, written by Yves Peyr?, a close friend of the artist. This comprehensive monograph details Bacon's artistic journey, from his early design work in the 1920s to his disturbing, emotive triptychs of the 1980s.

Tormented, twisted, and jarringly dissonant, Bacon's divided vision of the world swung between civilization and barbarism, beauty and ugliness, life and death. His study of classical culture and western mythology led him to depict darkly sublime worlds of violence and madness that intrigue as much as they evoke visceral disgust.

This monograph begins with a biography, relating the life of Francis Bacon, his stories and inspirations; before delving into a sharp analysis of his work. Peyr?'s personal connection with Bacon makes Francis Bacon a detailed and touching story, inviting the reader on a philosophical, poetic and artistic stroll through the artist's mind.
