This fine portrait of the artist is both gossipy and poignant. [and] one of the best art books I have read, by turns atmospheric and waspishly gossipy but also profound and poignant. He is also the author of the definitive Bacon biography, the 1997 Francis Bacon: Anatomy of an Enigma.

About this product

Product Information

This fine memoir is more insightful than gossipy, and as a subject Bacon is just about unbeatable. -- The New York Times In June of 1963, when Michael Peppiatt first met Francis Bacon, the former was a college boy at Cambridge, the latter already a famous painter, more than thirty years his senior. And yet, Peppiatt was welcomed into the volatile artist's world; Bacon, considered by many to be mad, bad, and dangerous to know, proved himself a devoted friend and father figure, even amidst the drinking and gambling. Though Peppiatt would later write perhaps the definitive biography of Bacon, his sharply drawn memoir has a different vigor, revealing the artist at his most intimate and indiscreet, and his London and Paris milieus in all their seediness and splendor. Bacon is felt with immediacy, as Peppiatt draws from contemporary diaries and records of their time together, giving us the story of a friendship, and a new perspective on an artist of enduring fascination.

4 out of 5 stars
by daniell886228 Aug, 2019
Simultaneously disgusting and fascinating.
Provides a frank and gossipy insight into a particularly prosperous group within the bohemian artistic demi- monde.The surprisingly VERY well-read Francis Bacon somehow managed to persuade the gullible art establishment that his at best unpleasant, and at worst near- obscene, paintings are great art, for which genuinely obscene prices were paid from a relatively early stage in his career. The book gives an entertaining, occasionally stomach-turning, account of how he and his buddies spent the millions fleeced from mugs with more money than sense on lavish meals and colourful sexual dissipations. This all takes place against a background of richly gilded squalor which Peppiatt brings vividly to life.
