About
Following the death of his lover George Dyer, the 1970s found Bacon painting self-portraits as a way to cope with the deaths occurring around him. His 1971 Self-Portrait shows himself with a melting expression, consisting of large eyes, a triangle like nose, and a slipping mouth. Interestingly, while the face appears to be dripping off of Bacon's head, the outline of his image remains a solid (albeit a bit wavy) line against the dark background.

Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free matt board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
