Traducción Viernes, 30 de Enero de 2009 The selection of 62 paintings (156 pieces altogether) by Bacon and
archival objets, is presented in a partly
chronological order and in various thematic
sections corresponding to concepts of his
work at different periods of his career,
namely Animal, Zone, Apprehension,
Crucifixion, Crisis, Archive, Portrait,
Memorial, Epic and Late.
Following each of these principal sections, the visitor will be able to enter into the unique world of Bacon’s artistic obsessions. Contemplation of his works requires the highest level of concentration, an unprejudiced viewpoint and a mind and eyes open to the beauty of his technique and his brutally honest vision of the human condition, which made him a creative figure of universal stature.
