🇮🇪Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, 28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992, an Irish born. Minimalism and geometric. The distorted art in the darkness is an acute sense of mortality and the fragility of life.

Study for Portrait
Oil painting by Francis Bacon. Study for a Portrait at 1953. There is the scoffing, almost untenable, and insupportable smile of the 1954 Pope or of the man sitting on the bed: one senses that the smile will survive the effacement of the body. The eyes and the mouth are so completely caught up in the horizontal lines of the painting that the face is dissipated, in favor of the spatial coordinates in which only the insistent smile remains.

Man with Glasses III
The paintings by Francis Bacon in the Lang Collection, Portrait of Man with Glasses (1963) and Study for a Portrait (1967), were painted four years apart and at very different scales. At first sight, they are connected only by the fact that both ultimately entered the same collection, in 1974 and 1976, respectively. However, I shall propose that they have some salient aspects in common, and that they inform each other in significant ways.

Study of Human Head
Terrifying jaws at the end of eel-like necks that suck and swallow nightmares, lovers, pain, boardgames, alcohol, war and screams. It's life as a taut twine between birth, skinned flesh, violence, the great and the deep in human feeling and, ultimately, death. And, simultaneously, the most breathtaking beauty based on his innate taste for the serene monumentality of the Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Velázquez and Goya. But it was Pablo Picasso who really kickstarted his career.
