Synopsis
Francis Bacon, acknowledged as one of the most important painters of the figure in the second half of the twentieth century, was tenacious in keeping his working drawings secret. When asked, he simply denied making any - adding on one occasion: 'I often think I should.' More than forty such works on paper by Bacon, together with related archival papers, are now in the Tate Gallery collection. This catalogue, published to accompany their display, provides the first detailed examination of this unknown aspect of his output. Reasons for the artist's secrecy are suggested in David Sylvester's introductory essay. The sketches themselves are then discussed in depth by Matthew Gale, who considers their place in Bacon's output and traces their relationships with sources and completed paintings.
