English term or phrase: illustrative treatment of individuality
The question was always: is it possible to visually capture the decay of the identity of the modern psyche? Bacon's answer was that it is possible, provided no attempt is made at a merely illustrative treatment of individuality. Our example, which dates from 1973, makes it clear what he considered had to be done instead.

Francisco Baconの自画像についての記述です。
illustrative treatment of individualityとは何でしょう?

個性が分かるような処理、要するに絵を見て誰だか分かる、といった意味かなとも思うのですが、自信がありません。

Japanese translation:個性を表現する画法(処理法、描写方法)
Explanation:
”the decay of the identity of the modern psyche”をcaptureするのは”illustrative treatment of individuality"にとどまらなかったという文章になっているので、Baconは自画像を描く際、他の画家が自然に用いる手法以外のなにかを施したという、ニュアンスではないかと思いました。

人の持つ個性に対する説明的な取り扱い方


Explanation:
- My interpretation and paraphrasing of the above is this:

Bacon’s answer was that, yes, it is possible to visually capture the decay of the identity of the modern psyche, as long as one does not try to simply make an illustrative (explanatory) treatment of individuality.

Because it goes beyond just an “illustrative treatment of individuality.” “Individuality” has a dimension that delves deeper, and is more complex, than an attempt to merely explain it can ever express.
