Francis Bacon, 1909-1992, oil on canvas, part of one of Bacon's "destroyed" canvases, circa 1985. The canvas shows what appears to be a "pool of flesh" spread across a black background with a straight dividing line on one side marking the defined edge of a small unpainted area. The use of black as a background was frequently employed by Bacon at this time particularly as a background for figures, and there are many examples of "pools" emanating from his subjects. Examples include "Portrait of John Edwards 1988" and "Triptych - August 1972" (George Dyer) both of which also incorporate black backgrounds. 10" x 31.5". Provenance; The vendor was a young art graduate and artist working at the time for Chelsea Art Stores. He often served the artist when he came into the shop between 1984 and 1987. Bacon was well-known for slashing and mutilating the canvas of pictures he was not satisfied with and would return some of the destroyed canvases to the shop to be re-stretched. It was from one of these that, with the artist's knowledge, the vendor saved this particular section "as a souvenir". It was part of a larger piece of irregular shaped canvas which, because of slashes and damage, the vendor cut to size and framed in a rectangular form. As an art graduate, the young man would talk to Bacon on occasions about the artist's techniques and materials he employed. On one occasion he mentioned to Bacon that to paint in oils on to the raw side of the primed linen as was Bacon's practice, would be damaging to the longevity of his work. The simple reply was "I couldn't give a ****."! The lot was submitted to the Estate of Francis Bacon for authentication in 2006 and is sold with a letter confirming its authenticity from the Francis Bacon Committee.
