Art Quote of the Week

Francis Bacon 
Triptych, May–June 1973, 1973. Oil on canvas

Figure with Meat (1954) Oil on canvas



The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon


I choose this quote because it is translates literally to what we are learning in class. In class we are doing realistic drawings and using them to create abstracted design. In the process abstraction we create an visual mystery for the viewer.
