Publication of the catalogue Francis Bacon and The Golden Age of Design, with the support of the Foundation

The Espace de l'Art Concret in Mouans-Sartoux has just published the eponymous catalogue for the exhibition ‘Francis Bacon and The Golden Age of Design’, on show until 5 January 2025, with the essential support of the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation.

This bilingual French-English catalogue, featuring texts by Elsa Boustany, Fabienne Grasser-Fulchéri and Dr Rebecca Daniels, invites us to discover a little-known aspect of Francis Bacon's practice: his creation of furniture in the early 1930s, as well as the British artist's sources of inspiration for his creations and the influence of this period on his pictorial works. Bacon said that he was greatly influenced by French design, and also specified that post-cubism, as well as the Bauhaus, had a profound effect on him.
