Bacon, Francis [Peter Beard]Biblio.com

Recent Paintings 1968-1974.

réf. 151839New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1975. First edition of this collection featured at the Metropolitan Museum in 1975 focuses on themes of loss grief and the intense psychological exploration of the human form following the death of his lover George Dyer. Oblong octavo original black wrappers with the front wrapper die-cut to reveal color self-portrait illustrated throughout. Presentation copy inscribed twice in red felt tip by Bacon's muse friend and collaborator photographer Peter Beard: On the first page of the introduction "For Suzan with warmest thoughts and regards as ever Peter Beard"; and on the first page of the interview section "for a dead-ele book in the works—like 1984 MOMA Peter Beard 4/13/83 57th 63rd 60th." Francis Bacon and Peter Beard first met at a gallery opening in 1957. They became fast friends brought together by their shared personal and artistic motivations. Bacon was particularly inspired by Beard's famous aerial photographs depicting decomposing African elephant carcasses. They were massively influential on his meditations on death and decomposition: "For me the most poignant are the ones of decomposing elephants where over time as they disintegrate the bones form magnificent sculptures which are not just abstract forms but have all the memory traces of life's futility and despair." Bacon painted nine major portraits of Beard during his career and used his likeness for many other works. Upon his death in 1992 his apartment contained more than 200 of Beard's photographs signifying their lasting connection and collaboration. In 1972 the Beard conducted a series of interviews with Bacon in which they discuss how Beard's photographs influenced his painting dubbed the "Dead Elephant Interviews." Excerpts from these interviews appear in this catalogue for the first time. In very good condition with damp-staining to the top of the front panel rubbing and a small tear to cut-out edge. An exceptional association. Francis Bacon was a figurative painter known for his emotionally charged raw imagery and fixation on personal motifs. Best known for his depictions of popes crucifixions and portraits of close friends his abstracted figures are typically isolated in geometrical cages which give them vague 3D depth set against flat nondescript backgrounds. Bacon said that he saw images "in series" and his work which numbers c. 590 extant paintings along with many others he destroyed typically focuses on a single subject for sustained periods often in triptych or diptych formats. His output can be broadly described as sequences or variations on single motifs; including the 1930s Picasso-influenced bio-morphs and Furies the 1940s male heads isolated in rooms or geometric structures the 1950s screaming popes the mid-to-late 1950s animals and lone figures the early 1960s crucifixions the mid to late 1960s portraits of friends the 1970s self-portraits and the cooler more technical 1980s paintings. Bacon took up painting in his twenties having drifted in the late 1920s and early 1930s as an interior decorator bon vivant and gambler. He said that his artistic career was delayed because he spent too long looking for subject matter that could sustain his interest. His breakthrough came with the 1944 triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion which sealed his reputation as a uniquely bleak chronicler of the human condition. From the mid-1960s he mainly produced portraits of friends and drinking companions either as single or triptych panels. Following the suicide of his lover George Dyer in 1971 his art became more sombre inward-looking and preoccupied with the passage of time and death. The climax of this later period is marked by masterpieces including his 1982's "Study for Self-Portrait" and Study for a Self-Portrait—Triptych 1985–86. The Metropolitan Museum of Art unknown

Nathaniel Bacon, John SeldenBiblio.com

An Historicall Discourse of the Uniformity of the Government of England. The First Part. From the first Times till the Reign of Edward the third. The Continuation of an Historicall Discourse of the Government of England Until the end of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. With A Preface being a Vindication of the ancient way of Parliaments in England.

1672réf. 032862London: Matthew Walbancke. Matthew Walbancke and Henry Twyford 1672 A very good copy in largely contemporary binding. In two parts with separate title pages dated 1647 and 1651 respectively. It is suggested that John Selden 1584-1654 is the true author of the work which was then edited by Nathaniel Bacon - whose name is on the title to the Continuation. However this is still a matter of argument. The work was produced originally as the Civil War came to its close and the Commonwealth was established and is written against the royal prerogative. A 'secret' or 'private' edition was produced in 1672 after the restoration of the monarchy. It is stated that 750 copies were produced and many were burnt or otherwise destroyed. The edition has the 2 works in one is dated as for the 1647/51 edition and there are variants of it. Detailed study Joseph A Dane University of Chicago Press suggests that the remnants of 1672 copies were put back together and sections reprinted later. This copy is clearly a 1672 'secret' edition of which parts are likely to be later printings. According to ESTC this copy has the Title page in setting A; Quires B-C are in setting 2; and Quire D in setting b. The binding is full calf with contemporary boards with blind ruled lines and new matching spine with raised bands and title label. Endpapers have been retained with repair and there are some ink numerals to the front and a latin quotation with initials to the verso of the fep. Contents: title 1647; To Consideration 2pp; Contents listing 4pp; Prologue 4 pp; text pp 1-323 Finis; Table 11pp; Finis; Title 1651; contents 2pp; Preface 20pp; text pp 1-307; table 8pp; Finis. All with decorative headpieces. The paper is lightly toned particularly to edges but the copy is very clean with crisp paper. Book size 20 cm x 15 cm Matthew Walbancke.
