My first real encounter with Francis Bacon and you made it meaningful, in both content and context. He is in a group of his own, running from or consorting with his own demons. For me, these masterful works of self-administered art therapy are cries for help, rather than provocations. Emotionally charged, they speak in more than one tongue but could never be mute. Thanks and keep on!
I've read quite a bit about Francis Bacon and I must say that yours 13:07 minutes were some of the most direct, eloquent and clear views about the artist! I started knowing about Bacon in one summer day of 1992, when I was listening at the radio. An interview with an important artist who just passed away was broadcasted. Since then, my art vision has begun to change...
With Bacon I always wonder how immensely talented, honest, desperate, brave and incredibly capable of revolution a person could be!! Wish I could slip into his mind ... only few could liberate themselves being chained in the social taboos.. great video !!
My first live encounter with Bacon was in the museum of modern art in Edinburgh. Despite the disturbing content of the images the paintings are like magnets - one is immediately drawn and needs force to disengage from them. Great video as always, thanks!
I was just going to suggest Bacon when I spotted it, I have a number of biographies of him as he was an artist I struggled with. Thanks for the video. I think of Henry Tonks who was a surgeon in WW1 who drew the faces of injured soldiers faces injured during the war, to help with the surgery. The latest biography I have on Bacon suggest Lacy wasn't a Battle of Britain pilot at all.
First time I saw Bacons work was in Berlin in the 1990's and I do find it fascinating... Alongside Lucien Freud he has created a new form in portraiture. Thanks again for an interesting look at art...
Thanks a lot, it is just a real treat to remind myself through your video what a great painter he was with profoundly deep understending of colour,and how many triptychs he made :), I am a total admirer of his work, and I was lucky to see a lot of them in flesh, however there are few included I wasn't familiar with, thank you, love it!
I am astfnished by your sophisticated narrative that manages to be both consize and explanatory.. You succeed in explaining the compex and controvertial nature of an artist's soul and its strive for expression.. Amazing work, Boby!
Wonderfull video excellent synopsis. For years I was horrified by Bacon but now with more understanding I really appreciate him art was his therapy thanks so much
Superb video about one of the artists I most admire (rather than “like”.) I remember seeing his paintings a long time ago, growing up in London (perhaps at the old Tate?). He’s really a one-off. His mature work is so intense, angst-ridden. You could perhaps put Bacon with Beethoven at one extreme of a spectrum of artist existence - the romantic version. At the other extreme, you might put someone like J.S. Bach - with his 16 kids and hyper-normal family life. Both types can produce wonderful art, but the latter for longer, usually. I saw a film of the episode in Paris, with the opening of his exhibition coinciding with the death on the toilet … Then Bacon having to fraternise with the great-and-good at the opening … says it all, really. PS sorry I took a while to look at this episode and comment. I’ll share it on FB.
@@artunplugged wonderful ❤️❤️❤️ your content is fantastic, I love it so much. The way you spoke about Bacon here is so poetic and beautiful, so articulate and eloquent. You explained him and his work so wonderfully. I watched it twice just to soak it in. ❤️💯
I think you’ve mischaracterised him slightly. He wasn’t a bitter loner, and he wasn’t a dark personality. He was gregarious and loved life, had many friends and acquaintances. Bacon’s art was an attempt to articulate sensation, and he succeeded.

Yes, I know what you mean! His influence is very strong, sometimes difficult to escape.

Thank you!
Never heard of Bacon before.
You opened a new window for me.
I am loving your videos, especially about Artists, not so well known to the layman.🎨👩🏻🎨
Thank you my dear. Bacon is one of a kind and definitely a favourite of mine!
Fascinating & insightful-thank you!
Thanks Paula!

Thank you! Miss you girl, let's try to have a chat one of these days.
@@artunplugged By all means, let's do it. Will PM you on messenger

Interesting - thank you very much! Lacy comes across as a very toxic character, nothing would surprise me!

Well-done. I quite enjoyed this very insightful, well-expressed lecture.
the advert at the start for smashing glass windows when trapped in a vehicle is great news for car thieves!!!
thank you Boryana for explaining art in such an interesting way. I am going to follow you. go ahead
Thank you! ❤

Thank you very much for your insightful and thought provoking comment! He was one of a kind indeed.
Good summary of Bacon. How about one on Lucien Freud?
