Thank you Martin Harrison for your revealing video; I never knew about 'The Wonder Book of Electricity' whose images echo that white trail in Bacon's 'Turning Figure', 1963.
Thank you for this! Love the Instagram page and I’m so happy there’s now an official KZread channel! Hope to see lots and lots of videos in the future!! Long live Francis Bacon!

Thank you very much for your comment. We do plan to create and post more videos.
This is a very astute presentation. The beauty of the canvas surfaces and the depth of Bacon's visionary Art is made that much more clear with this revelation.

some people are attracted by sick people. they want to explore pain and suffering. but not first hand. they want to look at it from a far. people that has been through hell could not care less about it
Ive decided hes good but not really great. An odd man for sure.
