Francis Bacon: Painting, Philosophy, Psychoanalysis is the second volume in the Francis Bacon Studies series published by The Estate of Francis Bacon in association with Thames & Hudson, with financial support from the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation.
Edited by Ben Ware, it is comprised of eight essays illustrated with colour reproductions and draws together some of today’s leading philosophers and psychoanalytic critics to go beyond established readings of Bacon and open up radically new ways of thinking about his art. The essays bring Bacon into dialogue with figures such as Aristotle, Georg Hegel, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Theodor Adorno, and Martin Heidegger, and situate his work in the broader contexts of modernism and modernity.
The volume contains contributions by Howard Caygill, Gregg M. Horowitz, Darian Leader, Catherine Malabou, Dany Nobus, Renata Salecl, Ben Ware and Alenka Zupančič.
In English.
