Paint And Suffering: Series And Community In Francis Bacon's Paintings
نویسنده
چکیده
Francis Bacon’s paintings are disturbing. His images present active figures who are defined by their activity, but their activity is fraught with violence. I analyze their activity in terms of the activity of actualization itself, which is shown to be a serial process both of construction and destruction in which the viewer participates. It is a process of relating one element to another in the construction of the figure, where each iterative construction differentiates previous constructions. Thus the activity of actualization presented in Bacon’s images is an immanent process of serially iterative constructive activity.
