N1  - "Jointly published by the Hayward Gallery and the University of California Press on the occasion of the exhibition Francis Bacon : the human body, organised by the Hayward Gallery, London, 5 February-5 April 1998"--T.p. verso; Includes bibliographical references (p. 99)
N2  - Francis Bacon: The Human Body concentrates, for the first time, on paintings involving the human figure, Bacon's central subject. The book is written by the critic and writer David Sylvester, author of Interviews with Francis Bacon. Bacon's is an art that plays for the highest stakes without fear or caution. Sylvester finds a parallel for the outcome in something Sir Joshua Reynolds said about Michelangelo: 'I think I have seen figures by him, of which it was very difficult to determine whether they were in the highest degree sublime or extremely ridiculous.'
