FRANCIS BACON

The Barry Joule Collection of artworks from Francis Bacon studio, 7 Reece Mews London SW7 U.K.

About the Exhibition

These works by the Irish-born painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992) and related materials are being shown in Japan for the first time. They were given to Barry Joule, who was closely involved with Bacon during his lifetime, just before Bacon died and their exhibition and acquisition by a number of museums in various countries in recent years have been talked about a lot. Carefully selected oil paintings of the 1930s, drawings, photographs, works drawn in books, and other rare materials enable you to explore the secrets of the work by this master of the twentieth century.
