Bacon! nom nom nom

So Leah got me this Francis Bacon book for my birthday and the more I read it, the more obsessed I become with the ridiculousness of it all.  There are very few things that I can honestly say I like more than the paintings of a drunk old gay english man. Done.

I mean: 
 
 Duh.

Of course, the most important one--the painting that started it all--has to be The Human Body, 1982-4 which strikes an uncanny resemblance (most likely solely influenced by and based on) Hans Bellmer's, Doll, 1936, cast in 1965.  You be the judge...either way...still ridiculously awesome. 

Bacon.

Bellmer.
