Central to their conversation are Bacon’s controversial, horrifying subjects and style. His representations of the human figure in portraits and triptychs link him, in his view, to the distorted realism of Van Gogh and Picasso, who also portrayed the intensity of life that Bacon calls “the brutality of fact.”</p><p>Source: <a href="https://ubu.com/film/blackwood_bacon.html">Ubu</a></p><p><strong>Prague dusk </strong></p><div data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM" class="tweet" data-attrs="{"url":"https://twitter.com/ahistoryinart/status/1498039562316226568","full_text":"Jakub Schikaneder’s 'In the evening in Hradčany,' (1913) shows a spectacular winter dusk in this district of Prague.
