Dead Sexy
Maggi Hambling on Francis Bacon

Wednesday 29 October 2008, 13.00–14.00

Distinguished artist Maggi Hambling talks on the life and times of Francis Bacon and his importance to contemporary art. Henrietta Moraes, queen of Soho in the 1950s, was both model and muse to Bacon then and to Hambling later. Hambling has said 'when you look at a Bacon, you are confronted by life and death simultaneously. That is the power'.
