Francis Bacon of now: 1909-1992. Known for his disturbing paintings of anything he painted. OK, maybe not everything is disturbing but Oh My. The one that frightened me depicts a pope sitting in a chair, the paint swiped across him in such a way that the pope appears to be, well, very upset. Painter Bacon was a prominent artist whose paintings might appeal to occultists. But not the ones who prefer paintings of flowers. I was stretching there to provide a connection as I do not have the patience for 6 degrees.
Now try to remember these two. I may have to ask you about them later.

I have never seen a Bacon painting that didn't give me nightmares. So much meat, and scary popes, and decay!
That is my favorite painting at the Art Center. A few years ago I went and it was on loan, the Des Moines Art Center is not the same without it!
