Figures in a Garden, 1936
The Francis Bacon (1909-1992) exhibition at Tate Britain that opens this Thursday, September 11, 2008 will bring together his best and most important paintings from throughout his turbulent life. It will also feature at least two dog art works, Figures in a Garden (above) and Study of a Dog (below), both part of
Tate's permanent collection.
Study of a Dog, 1952
Man Walking Dog (below) is one of my all time favorite dog paintings. I am not sure if it will be part of the exhibit.
