Shocking British painter dies at 82
The Associated Press
LONDON — Francis Bacon, whose disturbing paintings of humanity in despair screamed across huge canvases, fetched millions and ranked him among Britain's greatest 20th-century artists, died yesterday at the age of 82.
Bacon died of a heart attack while on holiday in Madrid, said his agent, Mary Miller. He had been hospitalized, but was thought to be recovering and died suddenly.
Bacon, who lived alone, liked dining on oysters and champagne and also had a penchant for the low life in London.
He turned down a knighthood, had little regard for money, and could be abrupt and difficult. But in his work, he insisted, he did not set out to shock
"You see, just the very fact of being born is a very ferious thing," he
explained in a 1980 interview with London's Observed newspaper. "Life ... is just filled, really, with suffering and despair."
On his 80th birthday, he told The Associated Press, "I'm not celebrating it. I'm not going anywhere and I don't want any presents." Then he hung up.
His paintings of violently distorted people and animals on garishly colored backgrounds were regarded by some as obscene.
But they hang in the great museums of London, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Yale and Ottawa.
"He was not only the greatest British painter of his generation, but was also internationally recognized as one of the outstanding artists of the postwar era," said Nicholas Serota, director of London's Tate Gallery.
Sotheby's chair, Lord Gowrie, said
Bacon was Britain's finest painter since the19th century landscape artist J.M.W. Turner.
In November, Bacon gave the Tate Gallery a painting which he could have sold for around 3 million pounds, then $5.3 million.
Sotheby's set the Bacon auction record of $6.27 million to an anonymous buyer in New York in May 1990, for the artist "Tritchuv-May-June."
Bacon's haunting paintings of the 17th-century Pope Innocent X — a series depicting the pope caged in plate glass and screaming — made him world famous.
Bacon had lived alive since his long companion, George Doyle, commi-
Bacon was born in Dublin, Ireland on Oct. 28, 1909, the son of a retired English army officer who turned horse trainer.
