"The Barry Joule Archive - Works on Paper attributed to Francis Bacon"
2000-03-30 until 2000-08-27
Irish Museum of Modern Art
Dublin, , IE Ireland

The exhibition presents a selection of key pieces in the Joule Archive. Most notably it contains leaves from the 'X-Album', a family photograph album used by the artist as a site for exploratory studies using collage and painting.

The imagery of the 'X-Album' contributes to a wider critical understanding of the themes that Francis Bacon developed in his major paintings. The exhibition also contains a substantial selection of 'Working Documents' of reworked media images, that again, in their treatment and subject matter, provide the sources for expanded interpretations of the artist's work.

A substantial full-colour catalogue accompanies the exhibition with text and commentaries by Dr David A Mellor providing an in-depth analysis of the material.
