...critical essays, reviews, a novel (Pictures from an Institution), translations and children's books. His visible eccentricities were mild. He appeared vain about his looks. As a young man, he turned himself out like a river boat gambler, slim, dark, natty and sporting a pencil mustache; in his late 30s he raised a bushy, patriarchal beard.

"I think of myself as a maker of images," Bacon once said, that produce an impact "immediately on the nervous system." Picasso gave him the artistic vocabulary to do that. Bacon claimed it was this "brutality of fact" that linked their work. But Bacon clearly wins in the cruelty stakes, especially in his nudes. His Lying Figure...
