[Literature & Art] Bacon, Francis. (1909 - 1992). FIGURE WRITING REFLECTED IN MIRROR [Francis Bacon. Oeuvres récentes. Galerie Claude Bernard...Paris, 19 janvier-26 mars 1977] - SIGNED POSTER. "Bacon's mirrors can be anything you like - except a reflecting surface... Bacon does not experience the mirror in the same way as Lewis Carroll. The body enters the mirror and lodges itself inside it, itself and its shadow. Hence the fascination: nothing is behind the mirror, everything is inside it." - Gilles Deleuze, Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation, London and New York, 2005, p. 13



"Each day in the mirror I watch death at work" - Francis Bacon quoting Jean Cocteau in, Hugh M. Davies, 'Interviewing Bacon, 1973' in, Martin Harrison, ed., Francis Bacon: New Studies, Göttingen, 2009, p. 96



'Figure Writing Reflected in Mirror' ranks among the most painterly, thematically and emotively outstanding works of Francis Bacon's extraordinary oeuvre. The present poster for Bacon's 1977 Paris show features the image, as printed by Moderne de Lion and has been boldly signed in black ink "Francis Bacon" under the printed gallery address. With some scattered surface scratches, overall in very good condition. 70 x 52 cm. The painting itself was sold at Sotheby's for nearly $45 million in 2012.
