Bacon

Gilles Deleuze's book on Francis Bacon explores the painter's unique approach to figuration and sensation.

Deleuze analyzes Bacon's use of distortion, abstraction, and the diagram to create powerful and unsettling images.

The book examines Bacon's representation of the body as a site of intense forces and affects, challenging traditional notions of portraiture.

Deleuze argues that Bacon's paintings capture the essence of sensation, conveying a visceral and immediate experience to the viewer.

Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation is a seminal work in art theory, influencing discussions on abstraction, representation, and the relationship between art and philosophy.
