Francis Bacon's "Study for Head of George Dyer" is a 1967 portrait of the artist's lover, George Dyer. Bacon's style is known for its raw, expressionistic brushstrokes and distorted figures. This study, executed in oil on canvas, exemplifies Bacon's signature style by capturing Dyer's intense gaze with bold strokes of color and a dark green background. The image's fragmented form and emotional depth make it a striking example of Bacon's exploration of human vulnerability and the power of relationships.
