Francis Bacon

He was an amazing painter, who born in Ireland at the beginning of 1900. His life (He grow-up in England) is tragic, his parents abandoned him at sixteen, when they knew he was homosexual. I think that this is horrible. Life is already hard to homosexual people and even now (one hundred years later), people thinks that have the right to say them how to live, and how to love, and is not fair. He was sick since he was born, he had assaults of asthma and for this reason doctor mediacted him a lot of morphine. He was Andy Warhol's contemporary, but his style of life was so different. I don't really like people who search to be the stars, I think that fame is something that carries the brilliant and magnificence minds and that's why I "really really" don't like Warhole (And Pop Art).
About his art, some people said that was just "nasty pieces of beef" (Probably talking about "Head Surrounded by Sides of Beef", 1954). Well... probably Margaret Tatcher painted "Gioconda" (NOT). I think a lot of things about every painting, but the most important thing for me is the hidden message that his art bring us. That colours, that drawings and all the athmosphere that he obtained is all a social critique to this ugly/stupid/chaotic world.
