Paul Delvaux
Paul Delvaux was born in 1897 in Belgium. He was one of the leading exponents of Surrealism, as well as one of the most popular painters of all time. He is famous for his female portraits located into mysterious surreal interiors and landscapes. In 1965, Delvaux was encouraged by Mira Jacob, a private collector of Symbolist and Surrealist paintings, to begin making lithographs. Later in 1976, Jacob published her book Paul Delvaux: Graphic Work, for which the Belgian artist produced many engravings, some of which are dry-points. Delvaux died in 1994.

- Central Panel, from: Triptych 1974-1977By Francis BaconLocated in London, GBFRANCIS BACON 1909-1992 Dublin 1909-1992 Madrid (Irish/British) Title: Central Panel, from: Triptych 1974-1977, 1981 Technique: Original Hand Signed and Numbered Etching and Aquatint in Colours on Wove Paper Paper size: 64.8 x 50 cm. / 25.5 x 19.7 in. Image size: 38.8 x 29.5 cm. / 19.3 x 11.5 in. Additional Information: This etching and aquatint in colours is hand signed in pencil by the artist "Francis Bacon" in the lower right margin. It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition of 99, in the lower left margin. The work was printed in a limited edition of 99 signed and numbered impressions with an additional 15 Hors Commerce [out of trade] impressions and 15 artist’s proofs. It was printed and published by Polígrafa, Barcelona in 1981. It is based on the painting of the same title. Note: Tryptic 1974-1977 is one of Bacon's finest triptychs. It was painted by Bacon between May and June 1974 and was made in response to the tragic death of his lover George Dyer in 1971. It was the last work the artist made before a major retrospective of his work held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1974. The exhibition formed the culmination of this important survey of Bacon's career from the late 1960s onwards and was immediately recognised as both a major landmark and also perhaps a turning point in Bacon's career. From 1971, Francis Bacon had been preoccupied with Dyer and the tragic manner of his suicide. Triptych 1974-77 also borrows several elements from the three earlier so-called 'Black' triptychs (In memory of George Dyer, 1971, Triptych August 1972 and Triptych May-June 1973). In each of these great three-panel paintings, the figure of Dyer is presented on the threshold of entering a dark void, either in the form of his hotel room, or silhouetted against a sequence of black rectangles. At the bottom of this central panel on a pale blue, purple and black curved continuation of this arena-like circle, there originally appeared a bizarre prone and bespectacled slug-like figure. Based on one of Edward Muybridge...Category
