The self-portrait was for Bacon not a genre of vanity or autobiography but one of the most demanding forms of visual investigation available: the impossibility of seeing oneself clearly, the body's resistance to being fixed in a single image, the way consciousness distorts its own reflection — all of the philosophical problems that animate his figurative practice at large are concentrated and intensified when the subject is the artist's own face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBacon's self-portraits — produced throughout his career in painting, drawing, and now lithograph — deploy the same formal strategies as his portraits of others: the figure compressed into a shallow space, the flesh rendered with extraordinary physicality, the features at once recognisable and subjected to the distortion that transforms likeness into something more essential than resemblance. The offset lithograph medium — which reproduces the chromatic range and tonal complexity of the original with the flat, saturated colour that Bacon's painterly language demands — allows the image to operate at a scale (816 × 609 mm image area) that approaches the physical authority of a canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePublished by Marlborough Gallery, New York — the gallery that represented Bacon throughout the most celebrated period of his career and oversaw his most significant print publications — in an edition of 182 plus some artist's proofs. Each impression is signed in pencil and numbered by the artist. Referenced as Sabatier 35 in the authoritative catalogue of Bacon's prints — a work that appears regularly at the major auction houses and consistently achieves strong results among collectors of postwar British and European art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr\u003e✔ Professional packaging with full insurance\u003cbr\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Francis bacon collection\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/francis-bacon-collection-raw-emotions-distorted-figures-and-modern-expressionism?_pos=2\u0026amp;_psq=francis\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e➡️ See all available Francis Bacon works\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any inquiries\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original Francis Bacon print?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original offset lithograph in colours on wove paper, signed in pencil and numbered by the artist from an edition of 182 plus some artist's proofs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e182 impressions plus some artist's proofs — signed and numbered by Bacon in pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this work referenced in the catalogue raisonné?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — listed as Sabatier 35 in the authoritative reference for Bacon's prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho published this work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarlborough Gallery, New York — the gallery that represented Bacon throughout the most celebrated period of his career and was responsible for his most significant print publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Bacon's self-portraits significant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBacon treated the self-portrait not as autobiography but as one of the most demanding forms of visual investigation — the impossibility of self-knowledge, the distortion that consciousness imposes on its own reflection, concentrated into a single image.
