I created this abstract using a photo of the fluted columns at the Getty Villa in Malibu.
The heart shape at the crux of the converging lines was a happy artefact of the mirrored image.
After certain age, after certain failures, after certain cataclysms when you set boundaries you die ! Simple !! Not the way when your heart & brain stop working but the way when your soul stops. And that’s a different kind of death but still death.
Realizzato nel 1961 per la serie Study for a Pope I-VI, il dipinto rientra in una ricerca che Bacon inizia molti anni prima mirata a rielaborare il Ritratto di Innocenzo X di Velázquez del 1650 (Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Roma) che l’artista considerava «uno dei maggiori dipinti del mondo».
Bacon studia il capolavoro seicentesco unicamente attraverso riproduzioni fotografiche e lo modifica più volte, reinventando l’opera in modi sempre nuovi. A volte si sofferma sul viso, che trasforma in una maschera urlante, altre preferisce conservare una visione d’insieme e limita le variazioni ai gesti e alla postura. Study for Velazquez Pope II, dono ai Musei Vaticani di Gianni Agnelli, è la più composta della serie. Bacon si allontana dall’originale nell’ambientazione, abolendo ogni connotazione cromatica a favore di uno sfondo completamente nero, ma per la figura del pontefice, seduto su un trono privato di qualsiasi ornamento, conserva la posa austera e lo sguardo diretto dell’Innocenzo X velazqueziano.
Created in 1961 for the series Study for a Pope I-VI, the painting was part of a research project that Bacon had begun many years earlier aimed at re-elaborating Velázquez's Portrait of Innocent X of 1650 (Doria Pamphilj Gallery, Rome) which the artist considered "one of the greatest paintings in the world".
Bacon studied the 17th-century masterpiece solely through photographic reproductions and modified it several times, reinventing the work in new ways. Sometimes he dwells on the face, which he transforms into a screaming mask, while at others he prefers to maintain an overall view and limits his variations to gestures and posture. Study for Velazquez Pope II, donated to the Vatican Museums by Gianni Agnelli, is the most composed of the series. Bacon departs from the original in the setting, abolishing all chromatic connotations in favour of a completely black background, but for the figure of the pontiff, seated on a throne deprived of any ornamentation, he preserves the austere pose and direct gaze of Velazquez's Innocent X.
"Era alto di statura, magro, collerico, splenetico, con un viso rosso, calvo davanti con folte sopracciglia piegate sopra il naso, che rivelavano la sua severità e durezza...". Queste furono le parole usate da Giacinto Gigli nel 1655 per descrivere il papa (Giovanni Battista Pamphilj [1574-1655], fatto cardinale nel 1629 ed eletto al trono il 16 settembre 1644), aggiungendo che "il suo volto era il più deforme che sia mai nato tra gli uomini". Justi e più tardi Morelli considerarono la sua testa "la più ripugnante... di tutti i successori del Pescatore" e "insignificante, anzi volgare", con un'espressione simile a "quella di un astuto avvocato".
"He was tall in stature, thin, choleric, splenetic, with a red face, bald in front with thick eyebrows bent above the nose, that revealed his severity and harshness...". These were the words used by Giacinto Gigli in 1655 to describe the pope (Giovanni Battista Pamphilj [1574-1655], made a cardinal in 1629 and elected to the throne on September 16, 1644), adding that "his face was the most deformed ever born among men." Justi and later Morelli considered his head "the most repugnant... of all the Fisherman's successors" and "insignificant, indeed vulgar," with an expression similar to "that of a cunning lawyer."

Thanks for looking.
Cranmer Courts was very badly damaged in the quakes that unexpectedly hit Christchurch. Originally big photographs were put into the holes where the doors and windows were, but now these massive pictures have been put across the boarded up ends of the buildings to keep them alive in the minds of the people of Christchurch.
The project was thought up by Mike Hewson.
