About Two Men Working In A Field

“Two Men Working In A Field” is an oil painting created by Francis Bacon in 1971. This piece, classified under the Expressionism art movement, measures 198 x 147.5 cm. It falls under the figurative genre, depicting a scene of human figures engaged in labor within a natural setting.

The artwork presents an intriguing and somewhat distorted portrayal of two figures engaged in work within a field. The figures are stylized and abstracted, giving them an almost surreal quality, which is enhanced by the exaggerated and fluid forms characteristic of Bacon’s style. The earthy tones of the field contrast sharply with the clear, blue sky above, providing a stark backdrop that emphasizes the figures’ presence. The overall composition conveys a sense of movement and emotional intensity, typical of Expressionist works, evoking a deeper contemplation of the human condition.
