Klappentext zu „Francis Bacon in Your Blood “
Michael Peppiatt first met Francis Bacon in a pub in Soho and was immediately swept up into the controversial painters world. Over oysters and champagne, they embarked on a friendship that would endure for thirty years. This is the story of their lives, closely intertwined and recalled at their most extraordinary moments.From Bacons electrifying early exhibitions through the chaos of drink, drugs and gambling, Peppiatt became deeply involved with the ground-breaking genius. This intimate and revealing memoir brings vividly alive the art worlds of Paris and London and one of the most important artists of the twentieth century.
