George Dyer may refer to:

Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his bold, grotesque, emotionally charged and raw imagery. His painterly abstracted figures are typically isolated in glass or steel geometrical cages, set against flat, nondescript backgrounds. Bacon took up painting in his early 20s but worked sporadically and uncertainly until his mid-30s. Unsure of his ability, he drifted as a highly complex bon vivant, homosexual, gambler and interior decorator and designer of furniture, rugs and bathroom tiles. He later admitted that his artistic career was delayed because he spent too long looking for subject matter that could sustain his interest.

His breakthrough came with the 1944 triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, which in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, sealed his reputation as a uniquely bleak chronicler of the human condition. Remarking on the cultural significance of Three Studies, John Russell observed that "there was painting in England before the Three Studies, and painting after them, and no one...can confuse the two."

George Dyer (August, 1802-May 8, 1878) was an American physician and politician.

Dyer was born in Windham, Conn., in August, 1802, the son of Benjamin Dyer, a druggist in Windham, and grandson of Eliphalet Dyer, a member of Congress from Connecticut and afterwards Chief Justice of the State.

He began the study of medicine with Dr. Chester Hunt, of Windham, and after taking his degree at Yale Medical School in 1827 established himself in practice in Greenfield Hill, Conn., but not finding a good opening there removed about 1832 to Trumbull, Conn., where he continued in active practice for forty years. He was attacked about five years before his death with softening of the brain, and failed gradually in mental and physical strength. He took an interest in local politics, and once represented Trumbull in the Connecticut State Legislature. He died in Trumbull, Conn., May 8, 1878, aged 75 years. He married when about 60 years of age, and his wife survived him without children.
