弗朗西斯·培根 少年
Francis Bacon
他是上个世纪最难以捉摸、最神秘的创作天才之一。无论他如何公开宣称他的目标是简化自己和他的艺术,但他依然是一个非常复杂的人。

培根是一个喜欢将亲密关系推向虐恋极致的同性恋者,受到自己的生命力和信念的驱使,他一直在生活和艺术中寻找灾难,认为越接近灾难,就越能清楚地看到永远徘徊在消亡边缘的存在与现实。
Francis Bacon, Three Studies of Henrietta Moraes, 1969, Oil on canvas, Triptych: Each panel: 14 × 12 in. (35.5 × 30.5 cm)

一旦进入一个情景,尤其是亲密关系中时,培根就会情不自禁地将其推向极限。在他看来,爱情本质上类似于两个人的歇斯底里。
Francis Bacon, Triptych, 1970, Oil on canvas, Triptych: Each panel: 78 × 58 in. (198 × 147.5 cm)
Francis Bacon, Triptych May-June, 1973, Oil on canvas, Triptych: Each panel: 78 × 58 in. (198 × 147.5 cm)

他所绘制的人物在画面上变成了一种令人不适的恐怖,巨大的苦痛感撞击着观者的心灵。正是这种敢于直视内心感受,毫不介意地表现在公众视野当中,引起了人们的内心关注,也让当时的画坛为之震撼。人们把他的作品与戈雅的奇妙作品相媲美。
Francis Bacon, Portrait of Henrietta Moraes, 1969, Oil on canvas, 14 × 12 in. (35.5 × 30.5 cm)

培根绘画中除了他特有的造型元素震撼人心外,就是他的色彩了,色彩对于一个艺术家来说它是支撑整个绘画能量大小的依据,是表达画家心理的一面镜子。
在内容上,培根向来是坚持承认自己,承认自身本来的样子,远离任何纯粹装饰性的东西,他并不十分关心抽象艺术,只处理让自己上心的、让自己记挂的那些寄寓在头脑中并肯定自我想法的主题,他认为人体才是他最根本的,唯一要关心的主题。
