Brief, saturated brushstrokes produce a lush - if simple - portrait of a woman with her hair pinned in a loose chignon, dark eyes evoking Munch’s “Madonna”. Though greatly influenced by the Fauvists and Expressionists, Bacon’s style was decidedly her own, and she focused on the daily lives of women within the landscapes of the places she traveled: Morocco, Hawaii, the Southwest, and more. Though she was primarily known for her oils she was equally adept at watercolor and ink drawing, coaxing from these fickle mediums a sensuous, sure weight.
