Symbolism & Foreshadowing: Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion (1944) by Francis Bacon
Bacon had painted for years before he painted the very work displayed here in the show. After painting this work, he then insisted that none of his other previous works counted, and that this triptych should be considered his origin story. He tried to rewrite his own history. Art critics mostly let him get away with it too.
Very interesting that they have this work, the first “true” work in the artist’s own revisionist history of his own life. This artist is famous for paintings in series but the choice of a triptych (3) than any other number is suggestive. It’s a triptych of living figures, too.
The figures are inspired in part by the Furies, who would (either as a function of revenge or justice) brutally kill transgressive murderers for crimes such as matricide and patricide.
Other fun facts about Bacon:
- gay, and went from being the younger, dominated partner to being the older and more dominant partner
- Irish
- history of substance abuse
- obsessed with painting mouths
- people would call his work horror, but he couldn’t understand why
- once got such a bad crush (his word) on a painting that he couldn’t bring himself to visit it in person
- canonically attracted to his own father

Winter has arrived…
Its coldness, unsettling stillness, and relentless rains have taken over. Last night was harsh, as the heavy rain flooded our humble tents, leaving behind nothing but cold and suffering.

My children, their small bodies can no longer endure this piercing cold. All I can do is hold them close, but even that is no longer enough to shield them from the cruelty of this weather. Our tiny tent, barely offering us shelter, stands less than 100 meters away from the sea. The crashing waves and roaring winds create a daily battle for us, amplifying the fear in my children during the darkness of the night.

This morning, we woke up to the same exhausting reality. I don’t know if this suffering will ever end or if it will repeat with every new sunrise. Sometimes I wonder: does tomorrow hold any hope for us, or is it just another chapter of pain?
These are not just words, but glinnmpses of the reality of my life and the suffering of my children, for which I can find no solution.

Have I earned no protection
Goddess heed my supplication
All I get for my faith
Is his fate in the sea
Her retrospective revenge will do nothing to protect me
