“Street Scene (with Car in Distance)” is an artwork by Francis Bacon, created in 1984. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is a figurative painting with dimensions of 198 x 142 cm.
The artwork depicts an abstract representation of a street scene, rendered in Bacon’s distinctive expressionistic style. A road, depicted with dynamic brush strokes, recedes into the distance against a vivid red background. A car is faintly visible at the end of the road, adding a sense of depth and perspective to the composition. The prominent use of red and the dramatic perspective provide an intense emotional impact, characteristic of Expressionist artworks. The painting captures a sense of movement and isolation, reflecting Bacon’s exploration of human emotion and existential themes.
