Bacon’s lithograph series after his 'Figure Writing Reflected in Mirror' painting is one of the artist’s finest achievements: representing both Bacon and George Dyer, the human figure embodies the artist and his lover as one being.
The only image Bacon ever produced of a figure in the act of writing, this artwork shows Bacon’s obsession with the written word. 'Figure Writing Reflected in Mirror' was used as the cover of the catalogue for Bacon’s 1977 retrospective at George Bernard’s gallery.
