Lisa 1955

"Lisa" is a 1955 painting by Francis Bacon, known for its raw and visceral portrayal of the human form. The painting depicts a distorted and fragmented figure, with a face that appears both contorted and melancholic. The dark and unsettling background emphasizes the figure's isolation and vulnerability. Bacon's use of thick impasto and gestural brushstrokes creates a sense of urgency and intensity, capturing the raw emotions that lie beneath the surface.
