So I've been looking for some inspiration and have been trying to see how other artists work. This interview with Francis Bacon really moved me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are two parts.I think reading interviews with artists is a great way to understand a little more about their work, but to hear the artist speak and see their manerisms is a whole other story. The great artists that have come before us were all real people too, not just myths and legends. Francis Bacon was as real as it gets, and in this interview it is so inspiring to me to see what makes him tick, and to hear how he goes about making a painting. Enjoy! (notice how he opens and squeezes out the paint from a new tube!)
