  This is almost as good as listening to a Francis Bacon interview.  Wonderful.

  Superb. No arty-farty condescension, just simple, concise, deep insight that enhances the appreciation of the artist's work.

  Bacon's use of chance is very modern. I bump into this way of painting constantly. What I see in his painting is solutions, that work. For him. They are good. He has sorrowful uniqueness, which is highly important.

  This is one of the most perceptive, incisive and completely informative explication of Bacon and these works. Anthony Bond is a wonderful speaker, and his deep insight and intelligence regarding Bacon is so evident. He captures all aspects of the artists work -- and importantly, Bacon's irreverent humor. As someone who has read almost all of the works written on Bacon, Bond elevates my understanding of the artist. Absolutely marvelous introduction.

  Fascinating. Learned alot from this. This guy is so great to listen to. He doesn't do the 'art' waffle. 👌❤️💯 I'm a neophyte artist and Im learning so much from researching Bacon's work.
