The exhibition ‘Francis Bacon and the Golden Age of Design’, held at the Espace de l’art concret in Mouans-Sartoux from 9 June 2025 to 5 January 2025, was accompanied by a catalogue published with support from the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation.
This bilingual catalogue in French and English featuring contributions by Elsa Boustany, Fabienne Grasser-Fulchéri and Dr Rebecca Daniels explores a little-known aspect of Francis Bacon’s practice: his work as a furniture designer in the early 1930s, the sources of inspiration for his designs and the influence of this period on his paintings. Bacon himself said that he was greatly influenced by French design and that post-Cubism and Bauhaus had a profound impact on him.
