What is your opinion of Francis Bacon?

I like his stuff

Kind of surreal that he is a descendant of the original Sir Francis Bacon. I thought the name was just a coincidence.

Pretty neat but not as tasty as Roger Bacon.

Led an interesting life. Not one I would want to have lived, but good fun to read about.

Continuing now that the thread is saved...

Bacon was gay as a goose. As a teenager, his stern father caught him prancing in front of the mirror in his mother's underwear. Understandably, Bacon Sr. was upset, and so he conconcted a plan to "make a man" out of Bacon... how? By having Bacon backpack across Europe with an older male companion, a family friend or a hire or somesuch. In Bacon Sr.'s head, this would surely straighten Francis out.

Of course, it backfired. Bacon and his travelling companion fucked a few times, and then Bacon started to make his own way. But at least Bacon was free, and spent early time on interior design and designing furniture (kinda gay in and of itself, one step removed from fashion) before moving over to painting. During this, Bacon was still young and cute enough that he could attract attention from certain older men, and so rentboy life paid the bills.

Bacon's early femboy activities later gave way to the hypermasculinity of his older life: his edgy paintings, and his string of lovers, some of whom came from the criminal element.

To his very great credit, Bacon did not puss out and do a deathbed conversion. He was cared for by nuns who tried to wheedle one out of him at the end of his life, but unlike so many, he stuck to his guns. Good.

After having lived the life that he did, there was certainly no need of god.
