This book, edited by Majid Boustany, who created the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation, offers a new perspective on Francis Bacon. Focusing on the artist’s unique relationship with France and Monaco, it combines illuminating essays by art historians with accounts by people who were close to the artist.
In addition to contributions by Elsa Boustany, Majid Boustany, Dr Margarita Cappock, Dr Rebecca Daniels, Milan Garcin, Michel Giniès, Martin Harrison, Yves Peyré, Sophie Pretorius and Jacques Saraben, it features a previously unpublished conversation between Yves Peyré, a writer and close friend of Francis Bacon, and Majid Boustany, who talks about his first encounter with Francis Bacon’s work and how he came to set up the Foundation.
In English. A French edition was also published under the title Francis Bacon sous un nouveau jour.
