本书是该系列丛书的最新作品，旨在阐明弗朗西斯·培根的艺术和创作动机，并开辟理解其绘画的全新且富有启发性的方式。

弗朗西斯·培根是二十世纪最重要的艺术家之一。他的作品至今仍令观者困惑不安，引发关于其意义的复杂思考。近几十年来，关于培根作品的两种理论观点逐渐占据主导地位：第一种观点认为培根是一位存在主义画家，描绘了一个荒诞无神的世界；第二种观点认为他是一位反具象画家，其主要目的是将作品直接呈现在观者的“神经系统”之上。

弗朗西斯·培根汇集了当今一些顶尖的哲学家和精神分析批评家，超越了对培根的既有解读，开辟了思考其艺术的全新途径。这些文章将培根与亚里士多德、格奥尔格·黑格尔、西格蒙德·弗洛伊德、雅克·拉康、西奥多·阿多诺和马丁·海德格尔等人物进行对话，并将他的作品置于现代主义和现代性的更广阔语境中。最终呈现的是一部适时且引人深思的文集，对于任何对培根、现代艺术和当代美学感兴趣的人来说，都是值得一读的作品。

The latest book in a series that seeks to illuminate Francis Bacon’s art and motivations and open up fresh and stimulating ways of understanding his paintings.

Francis Bacon was one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. His works continue to puzzle and unnerve viewers, raising complex questions about their meaning. Over recent decades, two theoretical approaches to Bacon’s work have come to hold sway: first, that Bacon is an existential painter, depicting an absurd and godless world; and second, that he is an antirepresentational painter, whose primary aim is to expose his work directly to the spectator’s “nervous system.”

Francis Bacon draws together some of today’s leading philosophers and psychoanalytic critics to go beyond established readings of Bacon and open up radically new ways of thinking about his art. The essays bring Bacon into dialogue with figures such as Aristotle, Georg Hegel, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Theodor Adorno, and Martin Heidegger, and situate his work in the broader contexts of modernism and modernity. The result is a timely and thought- provoking collection that will be essential reading for anyone interested in Bacon, modern art, and contemporary aesthetics.
