Art and obsession
Reblogged from Cristian Mihai:
"OK, I got Velazquez portraitof the Pope Innocent X.Quite an ambivalent studyof absolute power.And here comes Francis Bacon.Despite never having seenthis painting in person,Bacon became so obsessedwith itthat he compulsively repainted itover and over again,each versionmore horrific than the previous. [...]It's not until an artistfinds his obsessionthat he can createhis most inspired work."
