“Study for Head of George Dyer” is a work created in 1967 by the renowned artist Francis Bacon. This piece, identified with the Expressionism art movement, measures 35.5 x 30.5 cm and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork presents a distorted and abstracted profile of George Dyer, demonstrating Bacon’s unique approach to portraiture. The use of bold and expressive brushstrokes renders the figure’s face with a blend of intense colors and dynamic textures, creating a sense of psychological complexity and emotional depth. The dark backdrop serves to highlight the fragmented and layered depiction of Dyer’s visage, enhancing the overall intensity of the composition.
