Francis Bacon: 3 Surprising Benefits of a Messy Studio for Artists

Incredible archival photos of the studio as it was at 7 Reece Mews by photographer Perry Ogden.  Great written interview of Bacon by Photographer Francis Giacobetti. Go here for a transcript of the podcast and to see an image of Bacon's Studio at Hugh Lane Gallery. Frances Bacon and The Hugh Lane Gallery info, lots of images on this site as well.  Correction:I mention in the podcast that "Bacon was not a trust fund baby." But in truth his mother was an heiress to a fortune from coal mining. But Bacon did not get that money.  His relationship with his family was strained (it seems due to violence and anti- homosexual bigotry that he was on the receiving end of in childhood.) He may have received a small stipend from them, but not enough to live on. His early career was filled with debt. Other Charmed Studio Posts You Might Like: How To Get an Artist’s Residency?
