The artwork named “Landscape near Malabata, Tangier” was created by the artist Francis Bacon in the year 1963. This painting falls into the genre of landscape and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It measures 198 by 144 cm.
The artwork presents a distorted and abstracted representation of a landscape, utilizing vivid and somewhat chaotic brushstrokes that convey intense emotion and movement. The central area of the painting appears to be a swirling mass of colors – predominantly reds, oranges, and blues – set against a stark, dark backdrop. This interplay of colors and forms creates a sense of dynamic instability, which is a hallmark of Bacon’s expressionist style. The composition eludes precise depiction, rather evoking an impression of the landscape through a visceral and almost tumultuous portrayal.
