This catalogue accompanies the 2024 exhibition at Museu de Arte de São Paulo, exploring the queer dimensions ofFrancis Bacon’s work and his enduring influence on queer visual culture.
Focusing on Bacon’s male portraits and nudes, the publication considers his visceral treatment of the human body, where flesh, muscle and bone are transformed through thick, expressive layers of paint. Drawing on influences ranging from the great masters to his own perceptions of the male form, these works reveal the physicality, desire and vulnerability central to Bacon’s distinctive practice.
