He was a denizen of the Colony Room, run by the redoubtable Muriel Belcher. Other regulars included Freud, Auerbach & the photographer John Deakin. Bacon worked in series of images & triptych forms. His was a dark vision of humanity
In terms of the Nude I’d recommend Andrew Wyeth, Stanley Spencer, Paula Rego, David Hockney, Rembrandt, A Gentileschi, Giordano, Gwen John, Alice Neel etc. These challenge & enthrall the viewer through profundity. I tweet examples regularly (Rego)

I’ve seen a lot of ‘political’ art criticism about creating nudes. Inevitably it’s always about the insecurities or hobby horse of the writer. Yes there is p0rno power-play schlock but you don’t get that in the work of great artists. (Michelangelo)
Picasso chose to depict Olga in a neoclassical manner (1920). She disliked his friends & avant-garde works, so the style fitted. He would bring a monumentality to the classical style as shown in his Head of a Woman (1921) as well as his Mother & Child (1922)
To understand Picasso you have to realise that every character he creates is a self-portrait. In this period we see him exploring his sexuality & experience through both male & female eyes. Mother & Child (1904), Horse with a Youth in Blue (1905) & Two Nudes (1906) & Nude (1907)
