Francis Bacon :
Born in Dublin in 1909, Bacon lived successively in Berlin, Paris then London where he settled in 1929. He decided to become a painter when he visited the Picasso exhibition at the Paul Rosenberg gallery. In april 1945, the "Three Studies for Figures at the base of a Crucifixion" presented at the Lefevre gallery provoked consternation and polemic. In 1956, he painted his first selfportrait. In 1972, the death of his friend Georges Dyer, leads him to paint a serie of three great triptychs (the black triptychs), and several selfportraits. During 1970's, Bacon painted many portraits of his relatives, like Michel Leiris, Peter Beard and John Edwards. He died in Madrid in 1992, at 82 years old. Known as one of the greatest artists of the second half of the 20th century. He realized many exhibitions through the world (London, New York, Paris, Turin, Milano, Roma et Sao Paolo...)
