Created in the late 1940s, Head I is one of Bacon’s early masterpieces, marking his exploration of raw human emotion, distorted forms, and psychological intensity. These same themes would continue to evolve in his later works, including the self-portrait from 1956–1957 featured in the BACON NFT Collection. Both paintings reveal Bacon’s relentless pursuit of the human condition — confronting mortality, vulnerability, and identity with uncompromising force.
