Description

This work was created in 1964, at the peak of the artist's career and friendship with Freud. They met twenty years ago and developed an inseparable relationship thereafter; Freud became one of the most important themes in Bacon's works in the 1960s. During this period, Bacon's creative power and confidence were surging, creating one masterpiece after another. However, in the 1980s, their deep friendship was shrouded in competition, and the two became sworn enemies due to jealousy and personal differences.
