Bacon is and was the greatest painter of all time..
His paintings scream fear and isolation..
of all time?
@@simple22travel11 of all time..to me...art is in the beholder...it may not speak to you the way it does me.
And where Is Velázquez?
Art is not a competitive sport for me very much the horse for the particular course you are taking at a time sometimes you need to cool of Pop other times the depth of Bacon not always - the best guitarist is the one who hits the right discord at the right time
He managed to turn life inside out and cover it in emotion.
Excellent portraits of monsters.
I cringe when these art merchants say things like Bacon was expressing this pope's greed, or that pope's whatever. Or when they try to tie him down to saying anything historically or about that tired old cliché, "the human condition." Nonsense. Bacon was a shock artist and he loved paint-it's plasticity and its color. If one is going to look at a Bacon for an expression of anything beyond what he called "the violence of life," then one needs to look at the paintings of George Dyer. His narratives were personal.
EDWARD RICHARDSON you are absolutely right!
well said. I agree and anything historical that they seem to attach to the Pope's is ridiculous. Other than his disdain for religion and everything it stands for.
We all are allowed our own vision and understanding of art, but I have to say.......your ' cringe remarks' made me cringe. Extremely subjective and one dimensional in understanding!
@@franzgrabe1 you say extremely subjective. Of course viewing art is subjective. However there is not much subjective opinion on Bacon's thoughts about religion. It has been well documented his disregard for such fantasy. What might be considered open to opinion is why he was so obsessed with Velazquez and the Popes. Bacon was vague about why he painted them and admitted to such an obsession.
@@shoichleach74callum7 Nice vague statements.....leading to nowhere!
That Pope was Satin himself !
Great artist
Velázquez genius of the genius. Painters painter
genius
멋쪄부러요~~~
Velazquez's first painter who avoided Romanticism< painted to a romantic ideal rather than the true depiction of the idiosyncratic facial qualities of the person in question"> all spain kings and popes wanted execute valsquez but he was just one perfect painter, so all bond villains are based on pope X the innocent you can see how evil menace and brutal, powerful that man is, is most evil person can be imagined. All bond villains ends up not real, the first movie where all character are idiosyncratic is Fargo this movie becomes at same moments so real it is bit dull, Bacon goes far more and excesses evil more and more more, it becomes munch scream.
Arturas Karbocius I wouldn’t say he excesses evil, but twists reality itself in an effort to make it more violent. But that’s just my opinion
