	Francis Bacon - a life in paint
		Francis Bacon (1909- 1992) was born 28 October 1909 in Dublin, Ireland of English parents.
		Bacon’s denials that he did preparatory did much to discourage writers from pinning specific sources to his imagery and instead to stress a conflation of sources that extracts his work from being mere story-telling or illustration: a painting may be a portrait of an individual, but rarely is he, or occasionally she, identified.
		Bacon’s path was set and in the years that followed his painful vision of man and his predicament became one of the most recognisable, although horrific, bodies of work of the second half of the twentieth century.

	Deleuze/Francis Bacon excerpt
		Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation is a remarkable text in which Gilles Deleuze (1925–1995), one of the most original French philosophers of the twentieth century, confronts the work of Francis Bacon (1909–1992), one of the most original painters of that century.
		Michael Peppiatt, in his biography Francis Bacon: Anatomy of an Enigma, reports that “although there was a perceptible sympathy and admiration between the two men, no friendship evolved.” Deleuze later recollected some of his impressions in an interview: “One senses in him a power and violence, but also a very great charm.
		Thus, each element of Bacon’s paintings converges in color, and it is modulation (the relation between colors) that explains the unity of the whole, the distribution of each element, and the way each of them acts upon the others.
