This is the story and artwork of Francis Bacon, the famous, Irish-born experimental and figurative painter born in 1909, in Dublin. His paintings were a prominent presence within the art community over many decades following the end of WW2, after exhibiting his tryptic called "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion", which would stun all that first saw it.
In this episode, Bacon is now on the verge of becoming a fully established and respected artist. About to unveil his first ever masterpiece, Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion. And we will be looking at not only this work, but a vast collection of his other haunting paints right up until the late 1950s.

ARTIST CORNER: Today’s featured artist is Neville Barbour. Neville is an American conceptual artist from Washington, DC, but now currently resides in Silver Spring, in Maryland.
Neville’s chosen medium is drawing with charcoal, as he tells me he finds profound satisfaction in taking a medium that can very easily be messy and fiddly, and trying to clean it up a bit, adding sharp and precise outlines and intricate shading, making it go against its flow, like living in contradiction. Neville says it’s also very important to him to make art that focuses on “ambivalence”. It is both a necessary emotion and a sign of maturity.
