- Katharina Günther introduces her extensive research into Francis Bacon's use of photographic sources.
Katharina's full PhD research, documenting hundreds of Bacon source images, is available in her book Francis Bacon - In the Mirror of Photography. Collecting, Preparatory Practice and Painting, published by De Gruyter in May 2022.
This is such excellent scholarly research that is presented with such clarity.
Just purchased your book. Can’t wait to dive in. Thanks so much for all your hard work to shed some light on the great Frances Bacon’s process ! I think it will also help other artists like myself in their own work.
Wonderfully beautiful juxtaposition of the wounded soldier and the self-portrait akin to those ancient Egyptian fragmented heads...yet what is missing is still there as a positive negative force...
Wonderful, thank you.
Great analysis. Thank you
Really interesting
Cool thanks
Absolutely fascinating!
We are pleased that you enjoyed it!
@@TheEstateofFrancisBacon It’s always intriguing (and surprising) to see the direct translation of photographic source material into Bacon’s painting. Especially when the corrupted form of the photographic print itself informs the composition - a ‘pulverising machine’ for imagery indeed. Thank you for this video, I shall have to find a copy of Katharina Günther’s book
Superb this picture of Dyer and Freud is wonderful…
Thank you for your comment!
Excellent bravo KG et j’espère une édition française. Scan
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
Will there be a French version of the book?

Gold. Most people don't appreciate it. Poor bastards
Interesting. Life through a peep hole
