Bacon is an obvious point of reference when trying to depict a face or portrait in an unsettling and distorted way. These portraits have a somewhat cubist element to them using geometric lines to divide areas of colour and the shifting and relocation of features on the face. There is a feeling of movement in all three of these paintings due in part to the brush stokes but also because of the way the features seem to 'swim' about following curves that look like ripples in water.
