DVF dress i think

I must have crossed paths I went to the French house wine bar in soho in the very early 80s

those days are gone taken by technology

thank you.

Nice high pitch feedback sound, totally ruins it. Getting AphexTwin Ventolin vibes

Thanks

Very helpful, indeed. My thanks for a fine effort. I loved the youthful POV these two brought to this amazing era in the art of painting. FB changed my life. Thanks Mr. B, RIP. Fact check me, if you like.

Bacon set my life course, after Van Gogh and Rembrandt got my attention. Thanks for inspiring my art career, Francis. I'll never forget your work, and your motives.

Thanks for this:) I would recommend using a teleprompter for the ‘to camera’ presenting sections of your videos as then you will be able to more naturally recite your pre written text to camera:)

Images made by that person are so repulsive, horrible and depressing that shouldn't be put on display. I'm free to say that and nobody can say about it.

the relationship between Bacon and Freud seems to me to be incredibly fascinating and rich on a personal and artistic level. perhaps, competitive? did they push each other to brilliance? I wonder if a book could be written particularly on their personal and artistic relationship

AWESOME! Thanks for showing.

Can't stand Lucian Freud, love Francis though

In my opinion, I prefer the first version of "Man at a Washbasin, 1989-90" compared to the second version. I don't think that the background distracts from focus on the figure, I think it actually opens up the space for the figure.

Alex is more like Lucian than Lucian himself - so weird watching him! :)

No art has ever been as hauntingly beautiful as Bacon's.

Will there be a digital edition of the book?

AWESOME! Thanks for showing.

Compelling ... well done + onwards!

Been looking forward to this book for insight into his process. Not for pretentious “critiques”. Hope the book is not full of pointless and pompous essays.

This guy speaking scares me. I bet he kicks his dog.

One of the greats, thank you

Amazing!

They still have a lot of revision before I'll like it

Revisions? 🤔

Sophie sais " book " whats its Title please?

REALLY!!! Let me watch this.

1:20: 'He (Bacon) never allowed himself to be photographed in the act of painting - except on this one occasion.' That is simply not true. Several photographs exist showing Bacon working on other canvases in his Reece Mews studio; these images being taken by Barry Joule. I can understand that the Estate are unwilling to acknowledge BJ because of the controversy relating to the Joule Archive, but with all the confusion and misinformation surrounding Bacon's life, it is very important to try and be factually correct.

The Algorithm God's blessed me with this recommendation. Look forward to checking out the other vids. Thank you!

this is wonderful. truly he is an artist for the ages. I think we will never stop finding new things in his art, he is so infinitely interesting and original and mysterious and brilliant

James Tunney.Hits the spot more than a Heineken. Absolute understanding of the man and his work. Makes the rest without exception look shy and vague.U TUBE..The Bacon master.

It's always seemed as if the oval, as a shape, often the shape of a wall or part of a room in his work, was a consistent and prominent image for him (wasn't a room in his childhood home in Ireland oval shaped or something to that effect?). It's interesting that he circled back and left one on the lap of Edwards. Perhaps home is where the heart is?

Absolutely fascinating… thank you.

I knew Lucian Freud when he lived in Paddington as his studio was next door to our house in Delamere Terrace. He often came in and sat and talked over a cup of coffee. He did an amazing painting of my step father and sister in the 1940s. It's incredible how much his son looks like him when he was about the same age. Same expressions and mannerisms. He was very gentle and shy and polite.

Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

A poignant reminder why Bacon has become one of the most revered artists of the 21st century. debauchery! 👁️👁️ 👃 O

Wonderful little film. The stories told are so evocative and bring Francis and Lucien back so clearly. Rose and Alex are so genuine and sweet. Some fascinating insights Thankyou 🧡

Alex look so much to his dad and in this interview he's also on a sofa in the same position like a Francis' painting! Thanks for sharing this gems!

Alex Boyte on Lucian Freud: "He died next to being looked on by The Buggers; he died with The Buggers by his side." Wonderful..... Thank you.

Great interview. Good grief, how much Alex looks like his dad!

A fantastic interview with some brilliant insights & pictures. I particularly liked Francis & Lucian together in Soho, & Lucian at home next to Bacon's painting!

A privilige to hear this man speak. Ta.

Russia - simply the Eisenstein thing.

The comment that Bacon modeled faces as would a sculptor is very interesting.

AMEN

The audio is very bad. Is it possible to find the text he is reading?
