€47,00
Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, this monograph highlights the important influences and experiences shared by Henry Moore (1898-1986) and Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Exploring common themes in their work such as ‘the Biomorphic/ Picassoesque form’, ‘the human head’ and ‘the Classical figure’, the catalogue also sets out to contrast Moore’s universal humanism with Bacon’s radical nihilism, presenting two fundamentally different visions of humanity.
