Francis Bacon: A collection of 369 works (HD)

[@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!!!

[@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

[@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.

[@blipblip88]

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

[@almichael74]

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

[@quanimata]

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

[@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.

[@robertafierro5592]

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

[@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.

[@brunochxca321]

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

[@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

[@charleslipscomb2567]

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

[@knowtheunknown2.0og60]

Man of culture I see 😂

[@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!

[@manuelazacchetti4726]

Feeding! I adore His self-portaits.

[@dynjarren8355]

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

[@小船-w3i]

A true genius!

[@darylcumming7119]

Thank you,RIP.

[@ezsuzsa09]

Thank you for uploading!

[@EuphoniaPooch]

Wonderful Thom Yorke portrait at 3:34

[@rarityandSElover]

LMFAOOOOOO wasn’t expecting this omg

[@SemperReformanda3]

Excellent compilation!!!

[@hardinzepaint1002]

Fantastic 💡

[@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.

[@mewe8859]

Thank you...

[@m.b.mordala5910]

Wonderful. Thanks.

[@saeeddokhani3924]

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

[@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.

[@christinaaraya4081]

This is wonderful. I get it

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@tonelo7207]

Amazing

[@marcoscastillojaen1888]

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

[@FrancoisMouton-iu7jt]

Thank you. It re-aranged my DNA.

[@bacnguyen6164]

Unique ! ..

[@Paco-nq5yz]

Merci pour le,partage

[@spyro1159]

Still better than pretentious abstract art

[@randybackgammon890]

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

[@waldemar9999]

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

[@street2030]

well done

[@jacksmith3229]

What piece of music is this?

[@reybladen3068]

He reminded me of my angsty teenage years lol

[@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

[@rupertrozells5816]

Odd paintings but very interesting

[@maravilhosasanta1825]

Francis Bacon is never old !

[@gregnubody3871]

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

[@mmmmmmm6833]

greg nubody facts 🤭

[@blcklstd6156]

Was he plagued with thoughts of anguish?

[@outsideisfreedom]

no totally relaxed happy guy happy thoughts

[@claudettemoreau9992]

Noblesse oblige F

[@aultunwhite4988]

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

[@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.

[@waldemar9999]

His world is like a slaughter house!

[@jnorth1000]

@34:52 haha dats funny

[@elizabethclaypool1961]

Hard to tell what I’m looking at ?

[@elizabethclaypool1961]

You would need to study each piece carefully

[@seethevolcane]

A trip into hell...

[@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
