The Hugh Lane gallery in Dublin were able to authentically transport his workshop and put it on display. It is fascinating to see, the man worked in absolute chaos and it shows in his creations!

I've heard the quote "Champagne for my real friends. Real pain for my sham friends" was attributed to Bacon... or was it Oscar Wilde?

Francis Bacon is and will always be my favourite artist. I fell in love with his art when I visited the art gallery on Dublin, didn't even know who he was until then. Such power! The triplets, beautiful!
