Francis Bacon #8

Francis Bacon's paintings are disturbing. His images present active figures who are defined by their activity, but their activity is fraught with violence.

F. Bacon, Self-Portrait

This figure expresses violence, isolation, and pain of modern subjectivity. It is an images of pain and suffering it does not solicit our sympathy. We do not identify with it.
