Figure in movement 1985

"Figure in movement" is a 1985 painting by the renowned British artist Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Known for his depictions of the human form in states of intense emotion and physical distortion, Bacon's work is often categorized as Expressionism. This painting, with its bold colors and gestural brushstrokes, showcases Bacon's signature style. The figure, positioned in a confined space, appears contorted and agitated, reflecting Bacon's interest in the vulnerability and fragility of human existence. The stark red and yellow color scheme creates a sense of tension and unease, further emphasizing the psychological intensity of the scene.
