Central to their conversation are Bacon’s controversial, horrifying subjects, and surprising style. His representations of the human figure in portraits and triptychs link him, in his view, to the distorted realism of Van Gogh and Picasso, who also portrayed the intensity of life that Bacon calls “the brutality of fact.” UR - https://tus.kanopy.com/node/4468798 UR - https://www.kanopy.com/node/4468798/external-image ER -
