• Resumen

  • The writer discusses Francis Bacon's approach to the self-portrait and his attempt to capture living beings—to make invisible forces visible. His discussion focuses on a number of exemplary self-portraits and addresses various related themes, such as the effect of Van Gogh's work on Bacon, painting as a kind of game with artificiality and realism, Bacon's relationship to photography, and series and triptychs in Bacon's oeuvre.
