Princeton University Art Museum

Conversation | Francis Bacon: Revelations

With Art Museum Director James Steward

By day the painter Francis Bacon explored the secrets of a dark century; by night he swashbuckled through London’s Soho, a Wildean figure who “adored” life and never concealed his homosexuality.

In their monumental new biography of the artist, Francis Bacon: Revelations, Mark Stevens ’73 and Annalyn Swan ’73 — who won the Pulitzer Prize for de Kooning: An American Master — bring to life this complex man and offer fresh insights into his unforgettable art.

Free registration via Zoom through the event page at the Princeton University Art Museum website.
