Reprint Man With Arm Raised  / London 1960  by Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon was born into an Irish family. His father, a strict military man, expelled him from his home when he was 16 years old when he learned of his homosexuality and Bacon spent several months in Germany, where he enjoyed the joyful Berlin 20s. Between Paris and Berlin he discovered life and art. It was Poussin and his “Slaughter of the Innocents”, the cinema of Einsestein and above all Picasso who finally pushed him to painting.

Back in London, and after working as an interior decorator, he began his expressionist style in which he wanted to capture, above all and figuratively, the tragedy of existence. For this he used the human figure as his main (and only) subject.

In the 40's, already consecrated, and in the midst of the abstract expressionism fever that was raging in North America, Bacon became one of the main (perhaps the main) figurative painters of the second half of the twentieth century.

Homosexual and masochistic, every night after leaving his studio he drowned himself in beer, cigarettes and fights in his usual pub -The Colony Room-, and with these self-destructive excesses he planted the seed for a new work of art, in which he expressed the terror and meaninglessness of the tragedy of existence.

He wanted to portray human beings suffering, in violence, writhing in their rooms, isolated, alone and disfigured. For this, he was inspired by photographs of his friends, but also by medical photographs of diseases and deformities, by Muybridge's chronophotographs?

His oil paintings, although lacking all realism, are paradoxically a faithful reflection of life itself.
Somehow, the viewer is reflected (Bacon enhances this reflection by covering most of his works with glass) in these portraits of modern men, convulsed and threatened by the violence and degradation that surround them in an environment of supposed wellbeing.

Man with Arm Raised could not be more representative of Francis Bacon's phenomenal painting of the early 1960s, which was critical to his immense contribution to modern and contemporary art. From the especially decisive year preceding the first major international retrospective of his work in 1962, this painting is both a summation of the period of experimental investigation that preceded it as well as a prescient anticipation of several stylistic strategies and the increasingly autobiographical nature of his subsequent work. Man with Arm Raised was painted in St. Ives during a critically important period of artistic development for Bacon, at the point when he was making works for his first and largest show thus far at Marlborough.
