In 1963 Francis Bacon first met George Dyer, the East Londoner who would become his lover and one of his favourite subjects. In the following decades Bacon painted his likeness with a fervour that bordered on obsession, from small busts to full body, monumental triptychs. Among the most unique of these paintings is ‘Portrait of George Dyer Riding a Bicycle’, produced in 1966 and translated in 2015 into the present series of editioned prints.
