Good post, it takes time but when you break down the complexities of LofS then you really begin to see painting in a new light.
One thing which isn’t touched upon is that whilst Bacon’s paintings are both tragic and timeless (the 2 gretest ideals of painting) they are most definitely of their time. by this i mean that, when you look at them, they attack your senses in a very similar way to how they must’ve attacked the first viewers who saw them, and yet they couldn’t have been painted at any other time. You can see his influences and the whole of the history of art within his canvases and yet they are weaved into the fabric of the work so completely that the paintings are totally and undeniably his.
I think perhaps this is something which you haven’t achieved yet, your work still has its eyes firmly set in the past, but when you do, it’ll all click into place and what will be produced will be work of great power.
