The painting was created using oil on canvas and first exhibited as part of a group exhibition in Eindhoven from 21 October - 9 December The painting has only been exhibited four times in a group exhibition, and only once in a solo show.
We are delighted that it is now on permanent display at the Leeum. The painting features a figure on a wedge-shaped dais, much like another painting from the same period, Woman on a Red Couch , The dark palette, twisted body and blood-red streaks across the figure combine to create an intense, bleak impression. The early 60s was a prolific time for the artist. In Bacon moved to 7 Reece Mews and the first-floor studio was to become the most important room in his life.
After this came a period when he created a number of large-scale triptychs such as Three Figures in a Room , and Three Studies of Lucian Freud , For all confirmation regarding this display, please contact the host Samsung Museum of Art directly ahead of your visit.
