Three Studies for Portrait of George Dyer (1963), features Francis Bacon's favourite muse and lover, George Dyer. Bacon painted him obsessively throughout the sixties, and after Dyer committed suicide in 1971. The painting is a cornerstone in establishing the small portrait paintings that the British artist initiated and that would become representative of his work. Read the carrousel to find out more about George Dyer and his influence on Bacon's artistic career. Visit our website for more information about the listed painting.
