Description: Internationally renowned curator, critic and Francis Bacon scholar Michael Peppiatt discusses the series of paintings ‘The Francis Bacon Interior’s’ with artist Robert Priseman. The talk covers issues such as post war abstract painting and Bacon’s fusing together of Christian and Classical iconography in order to create one of the most powerful bodies of painting the world has ever seen. Curator Robert Hall provides a facinating introduction which covers issues surrounding Bacon’s myth making while Ann Marie Boyle provides an end essay which examines Priseman’s artistic interest in spaces with an emotional charge, and how this overlaps with Bacon’s world.
