Crucified Carcasses and a Speaker at the Microphone

petros · December 24th, 2010, 11:07 AM

I'm looking for the name of a painting I saw at the Museum of Modern Art in NY in the 1970's and 1980's. I can't remember its name, nor the name of artist.

The main visual elements are some very meaty Crucified Carcasses in the backdrop, and a Speaker at the Microphone in the forefront.

The Speaker depicts some fascist archetype spewing out rhetoric.

The painting used to be (perhaps still is) a part of the Museum's permanent collection, and was listed and discussed in a book with pictures published by the Museum in the late seventies.

Can you please help me find it?

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much.

You turned me on to the right track and I found everything I was looking for. It's the piece by Francis Bacon titled "Painting 1946". Here's a good picture of it:

And its entry at the MOMA:

Very grateful,
