Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation (French: Francis Bacon-Logique de la sensation) is a 1981 book by Gilles Deleuze, in which the author creates novel concepts related to art, aesthetics, percepts and sensation through the example of the work of the celebrated English painter Francis Bacon. It was translated into English by Daniel W. Smith.
The book presents a deep engagement with Bacon's work and the nature and potential of art. But while occasionally viewed solely as a work of art history, Deleuze's larger motivation is the conception of art beyond the cliche'd themes of "representation".
