Lithograph on pale cream wove Arches paper, with watermark - Published by Libraire Séguier for IRCAM, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, 1989 - Image: 950 x 690 mm. - Sheet: 1160 x 770 mm. - Signed in pencil - Numbered in pencil H.C. 19/20 - Catalogue raisonné: - Sabatier, Francis Bacon: The Graphic Work, no. 14 - Tacou, Francis Bacon: Estampes, no.9 // Francis Bacon's Study for Portrait of Pope Innocent X after Velázquez (1989) is a haunting lithograph that revisits and distorts Diego Velázquez's iconic 17th-century portrait. Executed on pale cream Arches wove paper, the print is a visceral reinterpretation where Bacon transforms the figure of the Pope into a ghostly and fragmented presence. The deep, dramatic drapery contrasts with the bright yet unsettling depiction of the subject, emphasizing psychological intensity and existential turmoil. Bacon’s signature style of distortion and abstraction infuses the piece with a sense of raw emotion, reflecting his fascination with power, identity, and the human condition. This limited edition lithograph was published by Libraire Séguier for IRCAM, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.

What is Postmodernism?

Postmodernism is an art movement that emerged as a reaction against authority and traditional boundaries, seeking to blur the lines between art and everyday life. It aimed to bridge the gap between the cultural elite and the general public by embracing eclectic mixtures of earlier conventions and styles. Postmodernist art often challenges established norms and celebrates diversity, irony, and pastiche, making it a movement that reflects the complexities of contemporary culture.
