Francis Bacon on Primrose Hill,
London, 1963
Brandt’s wide-angle lens,
which produces a sense of space
distorted in depth,
and the chosen moment, just after sunset
with the last
light of day blending with the artificial light,
give this scene a strange
atmosphere

art of the European avant-garde,
in particular surrealism,
showing how a fascination with
the strange manifests itself
in his artistic and documentary
practice
The Beautiful and the Sinister
is on display

Francis Bacon, 1960
Photograph: Cecil Beaton
Beaton described Francis Bacon
as ‘a brilliant but devastating painter’.
In 1957,
the photographer asked Bacon to
paint him,
and after a fruitless session, they tried
again in 1960.
In the interim,
Beaton photographed Bacon at
his studio
in the Battersea neighbourhood of London
