cavetocanvas: Francis Bacon, Study of a Dog, 1952 From the Tate Collection: Bacon used a variety of strategies to represent what one commentator described as ‘the anguish of contemporary life’. Here we see his use of animals to evoke aggression, vulnerability or both. The image of the dog derived from Eadward Muybridge’s time-lapse photographs of animals in motion. Bacon smeared the paint to suggest what seems to be demented movement. In contrast the setting, depicted with an economy of means, was based on the sea front in Monte Carlo, where he had lived from 1946 to 1950.
