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.

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.

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.
