Arena (1975)

Francis Bacon (1984x22)

Data de estreia: Nov 18, 1984

To mark his 75th birthday, Arena presents this exclusive film portrait of the great British painter Francis Bacon. Despite his world-wide fame, Bacon remains one of the most contentious painters working today, and he still paints the human figure with the same conviction and intensity that startled the art world at his first exhibition nearly 40 years ago. Tonight, amid the spectacular disorder of his Chelsea studio, Bacon talks on film with great candour to his friend of many years, the distinguished writer and critic David Sylvester.
