Thank you so much for sharing this little moment in time 🧡

Francis, just absolutely patient and thoughtful and grounded to the end. He certainly found his biographer in Michael.

Thank you for this up load. Wonderful to hear Francis. More please!

who are the other artists? my guess, Kossoff, Auerbach, Freud, Kitaj, Hockney...

Bacon's knowledge of art history is filled with holes....sylvester and others knew this and tried to protect him .........

I have enough work now for Mr. Peppiatt to give a Verney-Elliott exhibition: my sculptures are far superior to Giacometti's sculptures (which are as awfully bad as de Kooning's paintings).

Peppiatt stated: "I didn't dare go and knock." But why not? Why couldn't Peppiatt just go and knock on Giacometti's door and talk to him? I was looking at my most recent sculptures and it was obvious thatt hey were far superior to the sculptures of Giacometti which are so embarrassingly bad, and no one really likes them, but art critics have to pretend to becuase they are obliged to just as they pretend to like de Kooning because they are obliged to. I am still waiting for Peppiatt to knock on my door but I don't think he dare knock: but it is his loss, not mine.
