Bacon set my life course, after Van Gogh and Rembrandt got my attention. Thanks for inspiring my art career, Francis. I'll never forget your work, and your motives.
1:20: 'He (Bacon) never allowed himself to be photographed in the act of painting - except on this one occasion.' That is simply not true. Several photographs exist showing Bacon working on other canvases in his Reece Mews studio; these images being taken by Barry Joule. I can understand that the Estate are unwilling to acknowledge BJ because of the controversy relating to the Joule Archive, but with all the confusion and misinformation surrounding Bacon's life, it is very important to try and be factually correct.
this is wonderful. truly he is an artist for the ages. I think we will never stop finding new things in his art, he is so infinitely interesting and original and mysterious and brilliant
Thanks for this:) I would recommend using a teleprompter for the ‘to camera’ presenting sections of your videos as then you will be able to more naturally recite your pre written text to camera:)
In my opinion, I prefer the first version of "Man at a Washbasin, 1989-90" compared to the second version. I don't think that the background distracts from focus on the figure, I think it actually opens up the space for the figure.
It's always seemed as if the oval, as a shape, often the shape of a wall or part of a room in his work, was a consistent and prominent image for him (wasn't a room in his childhood home in Ireland oval shaped or something to that effect?). It's interesting that he circled back and left one on the lap of Edwards. Perhaps home is where the heart is?
James Tunney.Hits the spot more than a Heineken. Absolute understanding of the man and his work. Makes the rest without exception look shy and vague.U TUBE..The Bacon master.
Thank you for your comment. We had not planned a digital edition but we will consider this option. Your question will be taken into account. If we release a digital edition, we will announce it on our website and socials.
Been looking forward to this book for insight into his process. Not for pretentious “critiques”. Hope the book is not full of pointless and pompous essays.
The book begins with an overview of Bacon's whole working process, looking at what is known and what is often misunderstood. The main body of the book then focuses on 80 first versions of paintings, comparing them to the finished works. Most of the images of first versions have never been published before. The comparisons of first and final versions of paintings are organised into categories, such as Erasures, Remodels, Insertions, Elaborations, and commented on to provide supporting information and highlight connections. There are no essays, so it sounds like you will find the book to be as you hoped.
Images made by that person are so repulsive, horrible and depressing that shouldn't be put on display. I'm free to say that and nobody can say about it.

Yup. Most people talking and writing about art are not worth listening to these days.
@@psychomantis183: Let's just hope this mistake isn't repeated in the publication itself.

The Algorithm God's blessed me with this recommendation. Look forward to checking out the other vids. Thank you!
No art has ever been as hauntingly beautiful as Bacon's.
