From late 1991 to early 1992, shortly before his death, Irish-British painter Francis Bacon participated in rare interviews and sittings with French photographer Francis Giacobetti. Giacobetti captured eerie images inspired by Bacon’s unsettling works. These photos, along with previously unreleased Bacon paintings, were exhibited in June 2003 at Marlborough Gallery in London. This volume presents the photographs and excerpts from their conversations, offering an intimate portrait of the disconcerting artist.

John ★★★★★

The book arrived quickly and the reproductions of Giacobetti’s photographs are crisp and intimate. It really captures the raw, late-life energy of Bacon in a way I haven’t seen before. I’m glad I picked this up for my collection.

Claire I. ★★★★★

I've read plenty of Bacon interviews, but seeing his face in these late Giacobetti sittings adds something words alone can't. The print quality holds up well, and the Q&A sections from 1991-92 feel unguarded in a way his earlier interviews don't.

Benjamin W. ★★★★★

The Giacobetti sittings from 1991-92 give you a side of him the paintings alone can't, and the black-and-white portraits are printed beautifully on heavy paper. A slim book, but I've gone back through it three times now.
