I got to the artist Francis Bacon because of how I feel this morning. My senses are at a high today. I feel empty, but at the same time slightly irritated. The strongest sense I have is currently is disturbed. Francis’ work relates to how I feel this morning.
“Francis Bacon was born on October 28, 1909, in Dublin. As he was growing up, he became aware of his homosexuality, as did this family. They didn’t accept it, and in 1926, Bacon, only 16 at the time, was kicked out of his house. He became a furniture and interior designer. Creating in glass and steel, he mainly drew inspiration from his contemporaries and modernists like Eileen Gray and Le Corbusier. ” https://www.widewalls.ch/artist/francis-bacon/
From there Francis met a man that inspired him to paint. His first works weren’t very successful, but he kept on painting. As the years passed he created many successful pieces that have sold for large amounts. He has works in many different countries now.
