"I do believe that today... one could say that modern man, wants a sensation really without the boredom of its conveyance. Or the cut down of conveyance as far as possible so you just give over the sensation."



"I try to make concentrations of images."



what do you think when people say your paintings are ugly?
"I'm very pleased that those people don't like them. I am much more pleased when they really hate them than when they like them. It means that there might be something there."



"art is artifact"

Quotes from the incredible UK TV documentary The South Bank Show Francis Bacon Special (9th June 1985)
