Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon (1998)Where to start with Francis Bacon and this 'study for a portrait'? I guess it's not for everyone. It was for me, but I'm a huge admirer of the artist Bacon. So when you're 'deeply' into art of all shapes, I would recommend it to you. Jacobi is brilliant as the detached genius Bacon. Craig shows his acting skills as the tortured George Dyer. Bacon's works were kinda deranged and so this film with its deranged looks makes a decent tribute. Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times): 'Maybury and his cinematographer, John Mathieson, make the film itself look like a Bacon... A

Dit boek over #francisbacon zou ik graag lezen/bezitten .. maar het is duur in aankoop.
Wat doe ik:
- spelen op de lotto
- toch maar kopen en een week boterhammen eten :)
- het uit m'n hoofd zetten
The inspiration for the head of Innocent X comes from a still from ‘Battleship Potemkin’ (1925), a silent black and white film by #SergeiEisenstein. The image depicts the panic of a wounded nurse whose smashed pince-nez spectacles are splayed across her blood stained face. This fearful image held a fascination for Bacon who always kept a copy of it in his studio. It encapsulates his philosophy, ‘Painting is the pattern of one's own nervous system being projected on canvas’.
I need #ugly things to inspire my #paintingart …
(When you saw something really ugly, please share.)
Talking more about inner ugliness.
I don’t believe in physical ugliness. Actions can be ugly, not appearances.
(Bit tired of ‘pretty pictures’, no offence)
Yes, it’s not an easy task to paint something like this. 
Seeing #francisbacon art is inspiring… how on earth did he create all that intruiging #art?

Well, the "mom" made it sound like as if reading books, i.e. the consumption of ideas (real learning requires additional steps), were a cool and mighty weapon, as to incentivize the kid.
Sir #FrancisBacon seems to have coined this phrase for modern times:
"Knowledge is power.—Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est."
I agree that #knowledge in the form of know-how of natural #sciences can also create #weapons.
I do *not* agree with US fantasy author...

Some #books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some #books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled #books are like common distilled waters, flashy things. #ofstudies #FrancisBacon

#OTD #FrancisBacon, English #Philosopher & statesman, is born.
He wrote "Of Gardens" - a splendid essay w/ many #Gardening quotables:
"The breath of #Flowers is far sweeter in the air...
There ought to be #Gardens for all the months of the year."
He also wrote,
"A man's #Nature runs either to #Herbs or #Weeds."
In 1606, Francis created the #Garden #Walk at Gray's Inn. The idea was to walk among the #Violets, #Primroses, #Cherry #Trees, & #Birch. People loved it.
