Francis Bacon: Five Decades
Francis Bacon is a towering figure of 20th-century art. His paintings are gutsy, controversial and unforgettable. With painful beauty Bacon lays bare the struggles of the human condition.
Surveying Francis Bacon's life and work, this is the first major exhibition in Australia of rare works by the master of post-war British art. With over 50 paintings -- including some of his well known triptychs -- the exhibition covers five decades of his career, from the pensive and shocking works of the 1940s to the exuberantly coloured and visceral large paintings of the 1970s and 80s.
The works have been drawn from 37 collections including the Tate London, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Shown alongside the paintings is a wealth of archival material from his chaotic London studio, offering a fascinating insight into the artist and his creative process.
This is almost as good as listening to a Francis Bacon interview. Wonderful.
Superb. No arty-farty condescension, just simple, concise, deep insight that enhances the appreciation of the artist's work.
Bacon's use of chance is very modern. I bump into this way of painting constantly. What I see in his painting is solutions, that work. For him. They are good. He has sorrowful uniqueness, which is highly important.
Brilliant talk, thanks!
Fascinating. Learned alot from this. This guy is so great to listen to. He doesn't do the 'art' waffle. 👌❤️💯 I'm a neophyte artist and Im learning so much from researching Bacon's work.
An illuminating critique ... Thank you Mr Bond.
Truly excellent, warm, informative ALIVE talk. Most damn modern curators these days seem to be fey intellectuals dressed in black, devoid of passion. Anthony Bond is vivid, alive, creative, friendly, communicative. I will search his other talks. 100% thanks!!!
Still the best down to earth interpretation of Bacon's practice Ive encountered so far.
One of the best talks on Francis ever...
what a juggernaut of a painter.
I have watched this so many times! I so wish I could have seen this 😭😍💕✨

I learned so much thank you
Really instructive talk, thanks.
Mid 60s - Mid 70's was Bacons' prime.
I went to this exhibition when I had dreadlocks... It changed my life... BIL
Does anyone know where I might find a high resolution image of the polaroid shown at 5:36? And is it George Dyer in the image?
I'd love to see which paintings he is exactly referring to......
Look them up while listening. Not hard.
Exactly
So thin figure with thick shadow?
Nicholas Fanzo not the point
❤️
WHAT'S THE ORGAN MUSIC?
I Shazamed the closing music, it leads into "7 Burnham Street" by Colombo,
but that isn't the organ music which haunts the interview.
i guess he put glass on them so they where not photographed well
Chk John Harris 1/5 Lectures ; google
Art Gallery of NSFW lol
Ha,ha! Almost NO images by Bacon, but some guy groaning on and on.

I have to agree this is had to be on most boring videos I have had the displeasure to watch. How do you gone for almost an half-hour discussing in detail about the works and show very little?
I thought the 'some guy' was great - awesome insight and understanding. Plus, I hate to sound shallow but I find him quite hot - handsome and well spoken, with a lovely countenance about him.
I'd say the art of Bacon is way beyond your intellect if you consider this gentleman's fascinating insight to be "groaning on". Pearls before swine, sir, pearls before swine.
Less talking more pictures of the art.....pppllllzzzzzzz
there's virtually no images in this - it might make a good podcast but a waste of time as a 'film'
Are you serious? You come here to listen to the curator, not view Bacon's work. The gentleman is fascinating.
@@LaughingStock_ I agree - to listen, there is nothing to see
