Since his death in April 12 Francis Bacon has been acclaimed as one of the very greatest of modern painters. Yet most analyses of Bacon actually neutralize his work by discussing it as an existential expression and as the horrifying communication of an isolated individual which simply transfers the pain in the paintings back to Bacon himself. This study is the first attempt to account for the pain of the viewer.
