Francis Bacon: First Impressions – Michael Horovitz

This film is released in memory of Michael Horovitz, who died 7th July 2021. May the legend of this great Beat poet live on.

In our 'Francis Bacon: First Impressions' series of interviews, each interviewee was asked ‘What were your first impressions upon meeting Francis?’

In this film, poet, performer and publisher Michael Horovitz OBE talks about meeting Bacon and his 'acolytes' at The Colony Room Club. He recounts how Bacon told him about drinking with William Burroughs at Dean's Bar in Tangier, and the affinity he felt between their work.

First Impressions is directed by Harriet Vyner, and produced by the Estate of Francis Bacon in partnership with HENI Talks.
