I can’t get enough of this man. I would have liked knowing him & Borroughs.

[@chanthamala8]

Thank you for being such an amazing, nautral, humanistic, funny Artist, Francis. Thank you to whoever posted these videos and to the interviewer who ask those questions. Thank you to the production company who was able to capture him on camera. I dont paint, but Francis's explanations is helping me get over my ability to attack my own projects in my work.

[@bankruptbritain6103]

brilliant man, brilliant mind and artist. not enough people like this around now.....

[@ericlindegard2202]

I love this guy. His art is the only art that speaks to me. It offends me but also amazes me at the same time. True genius

[@stuartbritton7408]

Not anyone any more. We're all boring squareheads now.

[@jnorth1000]

Unlike you, the talentless moron...

[@hayleyanna2625]

Sadly. He was superb.😊

[@blipblip88]

Arguably one of the top 3 greatest modern 20th century artists. Immesurable in his impact on art, culture, society...

[@gogosegaga]

His work is beautiful. And the perfect mirror to the inner workings of the human mind and how important life, death, love are part of this

"CHAMPAGNE for my REAL friends and PAIN to my SHAM friends." ~ Francis Bacon.

[@RobCocklin-d6e]

If you are going to use a quote, at least get it right....

[@glassarthouse]

I think of Bacon as being consummate in being able to reject the soporific drowsy lotus-eating of industrialised capitalism, and he reaches into the real raw sense of animal humanness that if we all paid attention to it would help us to reject the hypnotic destruction of what is creative about all of us. He is constantly referring to this immense and continual creativity.

[@joehamill6743]

I've listened a lot to Francis, just KZbin and I've come to the conclusion he's slightly economical with the truth. His paintings are genius, almost alive with visceral reality but I think he had a few secrets, God bless him.

[@Robhalifax]

I agree. He only gives so much away. I don't think its about secrets. Its more about not wanting to bare his soul. He can let his pictures do that.

[@el6178]

'They breed in such numbers , they re about to suffer'.. Yeap.

[@malcolmnicoll1165]

Francis would've loved Vegas. Wonder if he ever made it there.

[@brannonmcclure6970]

His writing would have been nice reading. I enjoy that Oxford English dialogue.🧑‍🎨♾️✍️♾️📚♾️🎞️🎬♾️🥂

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Truly beautiful human being. Heaven sent to us.

[@nickpalmer3076]

Nobody around like this now.

[@andrewmartin6445]

His paintings are quite revolting but they are still vaiid art.

[@hayleyanna2625]

Brilliant man. I adore him❤

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

[@nadjaluthi3125]

Fascinating

[@robert-hh2ft]

heartbreaking stuff.....

[@alexandrecardoso8503]

O cara é um gênio.

[@JaroslavaPirkova]

how he has said that?...."once I had all the luck and won 16thous. pounds and I had a lot of friends that evening".....?:)

[@lisalovelylpa]

Great video , thanks , I put a link to it in my art history collection and how to paint collection. Winks Lisa

[@netsaosa4973]

why does he look like a shrek character in the thumbnail

[@urbanpulsewalks]

I do get the impression that Bragg is, through his questioning, trying to tease out an admission from Francis that his paintings come about by pure chance and accident and nothing else, and to get Bacon to admit that he is in fact a fraud who has conned the artistic world into believing that his paintings are masterpieces when in fact they are nothing of the sort. Perhaps this was the prevalent feeling amongst his fiercest critics at the time but I do find this line of questioning slightly unsettling and is an example of Bragg' tendency to pander to the lowest form of critic, that is those critics of the tabloid variety.

[@sn1000k]

Bmk I don't know that Richard agrees with this position, I think he is (accurately) just reflecting what he sees the interviewer getting at.

[@stevestone4561]

Yes I agree in part, Mr. Bragg does seem to question on trend and has a low brow journalistic bent of questioning. It was however, interesting to witness the tone change, when the 'basket of wine was brought out'

[@fifimelville2434]

I can't imagine how you came to this conclusion. Probably your own preconceived opinion. Bragg is trying to tease out more about the motivation of the artist and Bacon is quite evasive at times.

[@andrewmartin6445]

Anybody who says they like Bacon's art is lying, but that doesn't stop them being important art.

[@karllieck9064]

Bacon was a great, original artist. Always provocative and challenging. Now Basquait: total fraud!
