Image
Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is no greater wisdom than well to time the beginnings and onsets of things.
Francis Bacon
Image
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
Image
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Francis Bacon
Image
Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.
Francis Bacon
Image
Medical men do not know the drugs they use, nor their prices.
Francis Bacon
Image
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Francis Bacon
Image
Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.
Francis Bacon
Image
I regret not starting to paint earlier...It is one of the few things I do regret.
Francis Bacon
Image
One always starts work with the subject, no matter how tenuous it is, and one constructs an artificial structure by which one can trap the reality of the subject-matter that one has started from.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated.
Francis Bacon
Image
People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.
Francis Bacon
Image
I paint for myself. I don't know how to do anything else, anyway. Also I have to earn my living, and occupy myself.
Francis Bacon
Image
Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.
Francis Bacon
Image
For whatever deserves to exist deserves also to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence, and things mean and splendid exist alike.
Francis Bacon
Image
You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it.
Francis Bacon
Image
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great art is always a way of concentrating, reinventing what is called fact, what we know of our existence- a reconcentration… tearing away the veils, the attitudes people acquire of their time and earlier time. Really good artists tear down those veils

Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.
