The Works of Francis Bacon 16 Vols.

Bacon Francis John RussellABAA

Francis Bacon.

1964102743London: Methuen 1964. First edition of this wonderfully illustrated work on Francis Bacon. Octavo original boards illustrated throughout. Presentation copy boldly inscribed on the front free endpaper "For George with all best wishes Francis Bacon." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph of Bacon on the front panel by Cecil Beaton. Francis Bacon was a figurative painter known for his emotionally charged raw imagery and fixation on personal motifs. Best known for his depictions of popes crucifixions and portraits of close friends his abstracted figures are typically isolated in geometrical cages which give them vague 3D depth set against flat nondescript backgrounds. Bacon said that he saw images "in series" and his work which numbers c. 590 extant paintings along with many others he destroyed typically focuses on a single subject for sustained periods often in triptych or diptych formats. His output can be broadly described as sequences or variations on single motifs; including the 1930s Picasso-influenced bio-morphs and Furies the 1940s male heads isolated in rooms or geometric structures the 1950s screaming popes the mid-to-late 1950s animals and lone figures the early 1960s crucifixions the mid to late 1960s portraits of friends the 1970s self-portraits and the cooler more technical 1980s paintings. Bacon took up painting in his twenties having drifted in the late 1920s and early 1930s as an interior decorator bon vivant and gambler. He said that his artistic career was delayed because he spent too long looking for subject matter that could sustain his interest. His breakthrough came with the 1944 triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion which sealed his reputation as a uniquely bleak chronicler of the human condition. From the mid-1960s he mainly produced portraits of friends and drinking companions either as single or triptych panels. Following the suicide of his lover George Dyer in 1971 his art became more sombre inward-looking and preoccupied with the passage of time and death. The climax of this later period is marked by masterpieces including his 1982's "Study for Self-Portrait" and Study for a Self-Portrait--Triptych 1985-86. Methuen hardcover books

Large paper copy on thick paper of the second edition of Bacon's history of Henry VII. Bacon had promised the work to James I while on trial and he quickly completed the work following his impeachment for taking bribes. "It should be seen in the context of humanist historiography rather than as a precursor of its modern methods. Bacon was keenly interested in the conventional topics of virtue and fortune but was unconventional in placing a much stronger emphasis on fortune than virtue. The central lesson of The History of Henry VII was that a ruler must remain open to accident and ready to seize the opportunities it offered" ODNB. ESTC S122252; Gibson 116b.

Geldart signature on upper front free endpaper and numbered "26"; Robert S Pirie bookplate acquired from Seven Gables 1963 W. Stansky for Matthew Lownes, and William Barret unknown books

Provenance: John Purviance early signature on title The most important legal publication in colonial Maryland and among the finest examples of typography of any publication done on an American colonial press. Bacon rector of All-Saints Parish in Frederick County and domestic chaplain in Maryland to the Right Honorable Frederick Lord Baltimore worked on compiling these laws for thirteen years and publication took another four. Considered the most important legal work published in the colony it is noted for its typography and the first appearance of the seal of Maryland on the title. An entire chapter is devoted to this work in Lawrence C. Wroth's A History of Printing in Colonial Maryland who writes: "In scholarly and systematic arrangement as well as in accuracy and completeness it excelled any of the former bodies of law which the Province had possessed . To possess a collection of works on Maryland history from which a copy of Bacon is omittted is to have a house built upon sand while a collection of colonial laws or of works illustrative of American printing which does not include that work by this omission confesses itself incomplete." Wroth 254; Evans 10049; Sabin 2684. Jonas Green unknown books
