So remember for your research project that your looking for Francis Bacon the painter not Sir Francis Bacon the father of inductive reasoning(though he's rad too!) You need to connect yourself to him in 6 steps or less. Be inventive with your connections and don't take the easy way out.
My 6 degrees:
ReplyDeleteMy mother met Christopher B. Duncan who played as Braxton on the Jamie Foxx Show with Jamie Foxx who met Oprah who met President Obama who likes art by Jasper Johns who has work featured at the Museum of Modern Art where work by Francis Bacon was featured.
This isn't 6 degrees but I have been to the Museum of Modern Art, where Eric informed me that his work has been featured.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a terrible Picasso drawing in the gallery in the Trahern building, and one amazing Picasso painting in the Frist. Francis Bacon was inspired by Picasso.
ReplyDeleteFrancis Bacon was influenced by picasso's work; who has a restaurant named after him called Picasso's Bistro that features Drew Divilibiss who was born in Jackson TN that is 170 miles away from Clarksville TN where I live
ReplyDeleteI met Ronnie Sessions who knew Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash had his film biography produced by Ken Russell who was inspired by Frances Bacon.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Prado museum in Madrid, Spain, where some of Picasso's Hundred Drawing are shown. Francis Bacon's work was inspired by these when he saw them in New York.
ReplyDeleteFrancis Bacon was involved in court, where he fought against slavery. Particularly in the United States, slaves worked in plantations, which harvested lumber. The lumber would be turned to paper, which can be used for art, which I love.
ReplyDeleteI met Rachel McAdams who played in "Mean Girls" who was mistaken by Meg Ryan in several photos. Meg Ryan was in a relationship with Russell Crowe who played in "The Gladiator" with Derek Jacobi. Derek Jacobi played the part of Francis Bacon in the film "Love is the Devil" :)
ReplyDeleteMy Pop(grandpa) knew Johnny and June Carter Cash, Tom Russell wrote songs for Johnny Cash, Tom Russell also produced songs himself and quoted Francis Bacon in "Notes from the Borderland" saying "relationships are all about two people pulling each other apart."
ReplyDeleteI have been to the Art Institute of Chicago, which Pablo Picasso's work has been shown, who was influenced by Francis Bacon.
ReplyDeletei went to a private school for 1st thru 8th grade. At that school, i had an art / p.e teacher named Jerry Lenox, who had these amazing portraits that he sold around nashville. He recently went to New York in 2009 where they were having a Francis Bacon show in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
