Study for a Self-Portrait—Triptych, 1985–86

''Study for a Self-Portrait—Triptych, 1985–86'' is a triptych painted between 1985 and 1986 by the Irish born artist Francis Bacon. The work is an acknowledgement and examination of the effect of age and time on the human body and spirit, and was painted after a period in which many of the artist's close friends had died.
Although widely considered a masterpiece and one of Bacon's most personal works, the triptych is at the same time one of his least experimental and most conventional paintings. Bacon believed that the fatigue of old age and the complications of fame lead him to appreciate simplicity as a virtue of its own, a sentiment which he attempted to transfer into his work.〔Peppiatt, 305〕 Bacon's only full-length self-portrait, the triptych was described by art critic David Sylvester as "grand, stark, ascetic."〔Sylvester (2000), 168〕
==Description==
The painting is built up from very even and smooth brush strokes, using mostly brown, cream, white and black colours, except around the faces. Bacon is ill-at-ease in each panel, seated cross-legged with his hands around his knees, though in the centre panel one arm rest on the chair arm. The descriptions are based on passport photographs; he never used a mirror for these works, claiming that he hated the sight of his own face, especially close up, and more as he got older. This is reflected in the current work; in the left and centre panels large parts of his head have disintegrated or are missing. He explained to Sylvester that he continued "painting it (face ) because I haven't any other people to do...One of the nicest things Jean Cocteau said was 'each day in the mirror I watch death at work.' That is what one does to oneself".〔Quoted in Farr et all, 200〕
