About the Item
This expressive portrait by Whitney Lee Savage, titled Young Portrait of Francis Bacon in Berlin, captures a raw and introspective vision of one of the 20th century’s most influential painters. Savage employs a bold, gestural technique that mirrors the intensity often associated with Bacon’s own works. The figure is set against a richly textured gold ground, which heightens the sense of drama and offers a stark contrast to the deep green tones of the sitter’s clothing. Bacon’s face is rendered in an almost fragmented manner, suggesting both vulnerability and restless energy, as though caught between worlds of memory and imagination. The work alludes to Bacon’s early years in Berlin, a city that profoundly shaped his artistic development. Savage’s portrait is not just likeness, but an evocative interpretation of the psychological depth and complexity that defined Bacon’s life and career.
