Recently went through a wikipedia binge read on his life and works Se "Bacon admitted that his early works were not successful; they were merely decorative and lacking in substance. He largely withdrew from painting in frustration, instead immersing himself in love affairs, drinking and gambling." "I think perhaps the drink helped me to be a bit freer." "Bacon said that chance played a significant role in his work, and that he often approached a canvas without having a clear idea of what might emerge." "Bacon was a gambler by nature and habit, and would often return to paintings late at night, to attack them with a brush to see what would happen. If he disliked the results he would simply have them destroyed." Fi "I could not paint Agamemnon, Clytemnestra or Cassandra, as that would have been merely another kind of historical painting ... Therefore I tried to create an image of the effect it produced inside me." Ni "Bacon said that he saw images "in series", and his work typically focused more on a single subject for sustained periods, often in triptych or diptych formats." 4w5 sx/so-so/sx "Bacon's earlier relationships had been with older and tumultuous men. His first lover tore up the artist's paintings, beat him in drunken rages." "Dyer was, like Bacon, a borderline alcoholic and similarly took obsessive care with his appearance." "Dyer's erratic behaviour inevitably wore thin with his cronies, with Bacon, and with Bacon's friends. Most of Bacon's art world associates regarded Dyer as a nuisance – an intrusion into the world of high culture to which their Bacon belonged."
Biography
Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling imagery. Focusing on the human form, his subjects included crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in geometrical structures. Rejecting various classifications of his work, Bacon said he strove to render "the brutality of fact." He built up a reputation as one of the giants of contemporary art with his unique style.
