Francis Bacon
Image
I want to make portraits and images. I don't know how. Out of despair, I just use paint anyway. Suddenly the things you make coagulate and take on just the shape you intend. Totally accurate marks, which are outside representational marks.
Francis Bacon
Image
Perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures.

Rebellions of the belly are the worst.
Francis Bacon
