Francis Bacon
"I think that one of the things is that, if you are going to decide to be a painter, you have got to decide that you are not going to be afraid of making a fool of yourself. I think another thing is to be able to find subjects which really absorb you to try and do. I feel that without a subject you automatically go back into decoration because you haven't got the subject which is always eating into you to bring it back - and the greatest art always returns you to the vulnerability of the human situation." - Francis Bacon.

La pintura
Adrian Searle:

“Una pintura es un objeto -de una clase particular- que se refiere tanto a ella-misma como a las cosas fuera de ella-misma. No es nunca sólo un objeto y nunca sólo una imagen. ”
Extracto del catálogo de la exposición “Unbound: Possibilities en Painting”, Hayward Gallery, 1997

La pintura
Ciertamente la pintura no es y nunca será un medio libre; lleva en ella seis siglos de tradiciones y teorías, cuando los otros acumulan apenas medio siglo. No es ligera, ni libre de valores. Pero en adelante, restablecida en la disciplina artística, puede trabajar en la “hibridizacion” de su herencia, injertar nuestra contemporaneidad en sus conocimientos y profesar esta práctica reflexiva y meditativa que dramatiza una tensión constante entre la materialidad del pigmento y la profundidad ficticia del espacio que ella representa. La pintura contemporánea autoriza una referencialidad densa y potente, la cual cohabita con una materialidad pictórica, en una relación dialógica y fusionista.

Cy Twombly
His paintings, as I see them, touch upon something fundamental
to a writer's relationship with her or his language.
to a writer's relationship with her or his language.
A writer continually struggles for clarity against the language he's using or, more accurately, against the common usage of that language.
He sees it, rather as a terrain full of illegibilities, hidden paths, impasses, surprises, and obscurities. Its maps is not a dictionary but the whole of literature and perhaps everything ever said.
Here in these mysterious paintings we have to rely on upon other accuracies: accuracies of tact, of longing, of loss, of expectation.
I know of no other visual Western artist who has created an oeuvre that visualizes with living colors the silent space that exists between and around words. Cy Twombly is the painterly master of verbal silence.

Gerhard Richter
Let's stay with scraping off for a moment. Is this removal paint an aggressive thing?
Yes, certainly.
It has something to do with injury.
Yes, with injury, and with taking something that has been made and destroying it, subtracting, scratching it out. And then the pleasant feeling that you can get something else in return.
Perhaps that's the basic idea of giving things up.
Getting something better.
Entrevista con Doris Von Drathen, 1992.

Francis Bacon
¿Quién ha sido capaz de registrar algo que nos asalta como un hecho
sin hacer una profunda ofensa a la imagen?
Paul Cezánne
Sólo mediante la forma, el diseño,
pueden las palabras o la música alcanzar
la quietud, como un jarrón chino que no deja
de moverse todo el tiempo en su quietud.
