Francis Bacon: First Impressions - Bella Freud

In our 'Francis Bacon: First Impressions' series of interviews, each interviewee was asked ‘What were your first impressions upon meeting Francis?’
In this short film London-based fashion designer Bella Freud, daughter of Bernardine Coverley and Lucian Freud, recalls what it felt like, as a young person, to meet Bacon. Bella also offers insight into Bacon and Lucian's relationship.
First Impressions is directed by Harriet Vyner, and produced by the Estate of Francis Bacon in partnership with HENI Talks.
