Considered by many the greatest painter since Turner, Francis Bacon lived the life of an outsider in violent times. Sinclair explores the influences of Bacon's childhood in Ireland and his youth in Berlin and Paris, and London in the Depression. He takes this turbulent life through to a wise and witty old age, with its extraordinary refusal of honours, fame and riches. Sinclair has also produced biographies of Jack London and John Ford.
