Perceiving the lack of something…inspires us to search for an approximating resemblance to fill its place…Analogy, born of the human desire to achieve union with that which one does not possess, is a passionate processes marked by fluid oscillations.
Barbara Stafford, Visual Analogy 2001: 133
“As an artist you have to, in a sense, set a trap by which you hope to trap this living fact alive. How well can you set the trap?”
Francis Bacon, 1975
Anchors
• Materiality –Texture of the brushstroke–Local materials, makeshift design
• The Room–Objects and bodies are only given
weight and identity in painting by being enclosed (T.J. Clarke 2013: 104)
The Trap
A trap is a lethal parody of the animal’s umwelt…it embodies a scenario, which is the nexus of intentionalities that binds these two protagonists together, and which aligns them in time and space. Alfred Gell 1996: 29
Haptic Accidents
“Take the subject as the bait...the texture of the painting unlocks the valves of feeling to return the onlooker to reality more violently.”
Study for crouching nude, 1952
