Charting Francis Bacon’s career through more than 50 of the artist’s paintings, the exhibition explores Bacon’s engagement with portraiture from the late 1940s, with a focus on self-portraits and images of key sitters made from the early 1950s onwards, including lovers Peter Lacy, George Dyer and John Edwards and friends Isabel Rawsthorne, Henrietta Moraes, Lucian Freud and Muriel Belcher.
