Francis Bacon’s workshop

Just after Bacon’s death, in 1992, Perry Odgen spent three days alone in his workshop photographing and documenting where the artist used to work. This messy space reminds me my own room haha, the only difference is that I’m not an artist and can’t paint anything.

Bukowski once wrote:

“often, the state of the kitchen is the state of the mind, confused and unsure men, pliable men are the thinkers. their kitchens are like their minds, cluttered with garbage, dirty ware, impurity, but they are aware of their mind-state and find some humor in it. at times, with a violent burst of fire they defy the eternal deities and come up with a lot of shining that we sometimes call creation; just as at times they will get half drunk and clean up their kitchens. but soon again all falls into disorder and they are in darkness again, in need of BABO, pills, prayer, sex, luck and salvation.”
