[BACON FRANCIS]: (1909-1992) - [BACON FRANCIS]: (1909-1992) Irish-born British painter. A large unsigned 10.25 x 15.5 photograph of Bacon, the candid image showing the artist in a head and shoulders pose with one hand raised to his chin, most likely captured in conversation at a Parisian restuarant or bar in the late 1970s. The photograph (possibly a unique silver gelatin print) is by Mario Bellavia of Paris and is signed by the photographer to the lower white border in black ink and also bears his credit stamp (slightly obscured) to the verso. Some slight traces of former mounting and strips of tape to all four edges of the verso, otherwise about VG
