This is a past event
Sergei Eisenstein's masterwork of world cinema, Battleship Potemkin, is a film that Francis Bacon watched obsessively, and would refer to as a key catalyst for his artistic imagination. Join us in viewing this iconic piece of cinematic history to reconsider it through the context of Francis Bacon's work, and to meditate on the impact that the striking imagery and emotions, as well as the reality-bending techniques, made on one of the modern era's most significant painters.
