The Royal Academy is set to hone in on Francis Bacon’s enduring fascination with animals, looking at how creatures appeared in his visceral paintings throughout his career.– dates for which are still being confirmed, amid new lockdowns in London this year – will look at how Bacon took animalistic gestures and applied them to his depictions of humans and vice versa, consistently reframing perceived ideas of human nature in his boundary-pushing works.
“During this tumultuous period shaped by two world wars, women stood at the forefront of experimentation with the camera, and produced invaluable visual testimony that reflects both their personal experiences and the extraordinary social and political transformations of the era,” says the museum of this unique time in photography’s history. The show will feature photographs by the likes of Berenice Abbott, Dora Maar, Homai Vyarawalla and Dorothea Lange.
