Iconic: Francis Bacon

Probably the greatest British painter of the 20th century, Francis Bacon based almost all of his works on photographs. As curator of Iconic, Chris Stephens will reveal that source material and explore the ways it reveals the artist’s ideas and motivations.

 

This event will take place during our January ‘Up Late’, which will also offer the opportunity to try your hand at printing Pop Art icons, and enjoy music and drinks in the Cafe.
