Francis Bacon: A collection of 369 works (HD)

[@NevardArt]

this is an answer to my prayers, there are so many pieces on here i have never seen.. thank you. also. the music is awesome

[@donaldmcpartland]

I was able to see his retrospective at the MET in 2009 and it was a very powerful experience to see the paintings I studied for years close up and personal. Visually visceral and important look into the darkside of the human condition.

[@childrenofminervaofficial4316]

I attended that show three times, the first was the morning it opened. Upon seeing his work in person, I was trembling and teary-eyed. Reproductions in books do not do his work justice.

[@adaberrier7450]

Grandisimo artista!!!

[@marcofidanza6361]

I didn't know who Francis Bacon was until today, now I can't forget. That was amazing.

[@obrazywojtekkwiatkowski4643]

true

[@sjdkfl]

Moves me more than any other artist.

[@小船-w3i]

I love the background is always so neat and clean but the figure is so twisted.

[@bobandcarolehardy10]

Beautiful and terrifying at the same time , who we truly are.

[@quanimata]

Thank you for uploading! So many works I haven't seen. Very appreciative!

[@almichael74]

So wonderful, incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much. Bacon was a master artist, a true artist, that believed anything was possible.

[@blipblip88]

Thank you. I would have loved to have seen the titles of these throughout the video however.

[@robertafierro5592]

I call myself an Artist, but I've never heard of Francis Ba on before. These are truly haunting so far..

[@patsyjohnson2064]

Francis Bacon is in my top 10 favorite artists. I see the screaming Pope all the time but ive never seen these other works. Thank you.

[@greatsewing6061]

Despite the number of books of his works that I own, I have never seen many of these. Most especially the startling ones in extraordinary color combinations not common to his work. Now, do I fork over a grand for the catalog raissonne? Not yet.

[@elcapitan549]

Is there anything more emotionally moving than Francis Bacon's paintings?

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

Indeed, there is. Which is why his paintings are so excellent. I know that was a rhetorical question, and my answer was obtusely reductive.

[@Bakmoon]

The series of portraits starting at 16:21 are really something else. I find them both movingly beautiful and exceptionally disturbing.

[@elperroreggae]

I agree! Incredibly made

[@jonsey3645]

You can actually see the extreme care taken to flatter the subjects while being haunted by the grotesque. Beautiful in spite of the horror... or is it because of it? Amazing on every level. Thank you for this!

[@andytuesday500]

I always wanted to know more about Bacon. Wow. I had no idea. Dark. Lonely. Sad. I appreciate art but I’m honest. I feel certain emotions from his work on canvas.

[@rogertaylor5732]

I've never seen so many of his artworks and I'm all for it, also one of the rare occasions the music actually fits the mood. Already found track and artist. I like how the music will now trigger Bacon's imagery from now on - love it

[@dynjarren8355]

Portraits of Monsters. Sadistic Sociopaths. Ugly Creatures. Brilliantly captured by Francis Bacon.

[@charleslipscomb2567]

1:21 ----- "I kinda like this one, Bob! Leave it."

[@EuphoniaPooch]

Wonderful Thom Yorke portrait at 3:34

[@rarityandSElover]

LMFAOOOOOO wasn’t expecting this omg

[@manuelazacchetti4726]

Feeding! I adore His self-portaits.

[@brunochxca321]

Fantastic... life is the best journey that can exist

[@rogerio_guitarist]

Marvelous compilation. Only I find that the beautiful, serene music didn't match the imagery (I turned sound off to watch). Contemporary to Bacon and IMO his musical counterpart was French Composer Olivier Messiaen (1908/1992) whose use of symmetrical scales and modes of limited transposition generated the darkest, most unsettling music to date. If you like Bacon's work you will likely enjoy it.

[@rogerio_guitarist]

@paris parchment Possibly... who knows ;)

[@greatsewing6061]

A great suggestion. I am listening to Olivier Messiaen from youtube. His music would be most appropriate for this video, but I don't mind the current soundtrack.

[@saeeddokhani3924]

This is an excellent selection. I'd love to see one from Arshile Gorky's works.

[@ezsuzsa09]

Thank you for uploading!

[@SemperReformanda3]

Excellent compilation!!!

[@小船-w3i]

A true genius!

[@waldemar9999]

Deformed, amputated, blood dripping, wounded, slaughtered, - his world is a crazy slaughterhouse!

[@hardinzepaint1002]

Fantastic 💡

[@DanNic88]

Francis said that he liked to cause 'sensation' by avoiding the build up that yyou go through to get there, just wham bam! Instantly. He succeeded I think lol, great works.

[@darylcumming7119]

Thank you,RIP.

[@tylerberry7216]

wow! I purchased the Catalogue raisonné and it is worth checking out if you can!

[@bigjohndavid1]

£1000 though!

[@tylerberry7216]

if you're in Toronto you can come over and see it :)

[@djfucker1234]

Tyler Berry QA

[@m.b.mordala5910]

Does the Catalogue raisonné have absolutely ALL of Bacons known works?

[@spyro1159]

Still better than pretentious abstract art

[@bigjohndavid1]

His small portraits almost always work. The figures in rooms often work. The animals usually work., The Van Goghs are excellent; most of the popes don't work very well; though a couple do hit the target. He shows us our limited, vulnerable condition whilst trying to be straightforward and factual. I suspect that his relationship with his father; and his masochism are the subtext to the apparent insults, injuries and distortions in these pieces.

[@m.b.mordala5910]

Wonderful. Thanks.

[@mewe8859]

Thank you...

[@christinaaraya4081]

This is wonderful. I get it

[@tonelo7207]

Amazing

[@FrancoisMouton-iu7jt]

Thank you. It re-aranged my DNA.

[@rupertrozells5816]

Odd paintings but very interesting

[@maravilhosasanta1825]

Francis Bacon is never old !

[@randybackgammon890]

As my dad once said 'that looks like the work of a nutter!'.

[@street2030]

well done

[@marcoscastillojaen1888]

Se puede considerar al sr. B., un pintor o fue tan solo el creador de un estilo.

[@bacnguyen6164]

Unique ! ..

[@Paco-nq5yz]

Merci pour le,partage

[@TheRockerxx69]

He came 50 years after Pablo Picasso. I feel some similarities though.

[@kenpe8295]

Picasso was a key influence on him, according to interviews.

[@DanNic88]

He admits Picasso as an infkuence

[@FrancoisMouton-iu7jt]

Picasso was born in 1881 and Bacon in 1909.

[@eduardomartinez47]

I don't think there are many painters that have not been influenced by Picasso. Bacon, certainly. Nicholson and Hockney. Even among the abstract expressionists, Pollock, De Kooning. Diebenkorn, LIchtenstein. Hundreds more.

[@reybladen3068]

He reminded me of my angsty teenage years lol

[@aultunwhite4988]

it's hard to describe the feeling of many F. Bacon's works....but gloomy, distorted, rage, suppression and oppression...come to mind....

[@gregnubody3871]

1:26 looks like a happy doggo right there in the middle

[@mmmmmmm6833]

greg nubody facts 🤭

[@waldemar9999]

His world is like a slaughter house!

[@consawstudio]

What is the title of the portrait at 10:39?

[@neallucas]

Title is called “self-portrait” made in 1930 with pastel on paper, mount cars 15 ¾ x 12 ½ in. (40 x 32 cm) irregular by the artist Francis Bacon he was twenty one when made this ...

[@consawstudio]

@@neallucas Thank you for the reply. I can't believe that it has been 2 years since I have had this image in my daily life. The dimensions and materials, and the artist's age at production are new to me. I hadn't thought to ask again. Thanks again.

[@jacksmith3229]

What piece of music is this?

[@blcklstd6156]

Was he plagued with thoughts of anguish?

[@outsideisfreedom]

no totally relaxed happy guy happy thoughts

[@claudettemoreau9992]

Noblesse oblige F

[@user-zs9pj2rg6z]

What's the music please? Thanks

[@user-zs9pj2rg6z]

my bad - on my phone i couldn't see the text - MUSIC: Kevin MacLeod - Almost in F - Tranquillity

[@elizabethclaypool1961]

You would need to study each piece carefully

[@seethevolcane]

A trip into hell...

[@jnorth1000]

@34:52 haha dats funny

[@elizabethclaypool1961]

Hard to tell what I’m looking at ?

[@thenextshenanigantownandth4393]

Francis bacon is Irish not British

[@AleksandarBloom]

we wuz

[@stephenh.litman2684]

He was British, born in Ireland.

[@outtour2525]

Stephen H. Litman correct

[@Derbauer]

Great paintings but atrocious and ridiculous background "music". Wtf.

[@waldemar9999]

Why cant he paint a normal human being? It is a boring infinity of corpses, blood and rotten flesh!

[@dulcemoutinho1651]

Dont like this painting style. Too depressiv!

[@joker-mo8cb]

Francis bacon was gay

[@pepeproductions4802]

So

[@seanmchugh840]

Rubbish. I could do the same, or better, having no ability whatsoever.

[@weirdguy4948]

Doubt it
