Francis Bacon – Carcasses in Power
- conference
-
exhibition
A major artist of the 20th century, Francis Bacon (1909–1992) developed a radical body of work focused on representing the body in crisis. This conference offers an interpretation of his work through the concepts of corporality, monstrosity, hybridity, and the non-human, based on three paintings presented at the exhibition Dimanche sans fin: Trois personnages dans une pièce (1964), Autoportrait (1972), and Étude pour Michel Leiris (1978), depicting bodies under tension, coming apart and recomposing into a magma of indefinite flesh at the border between human and animal.
