"existential" Tendency Of Bacon Works

The central topic of this article is the links between works of Francis Bacon and the theory of Jean-Paul Sartre's Existentialism,attempting to analyze the "existential" tendency in the works of Francis Bacon's.As a whole,Bacon's works shows a depressing,anxious,despairing,even violent and terrifying screen.This coincide the background of World WarⅡ,beautifully describing the picture of post-war human's vole soul.After the war,the loss of all morals,values,beliefs left the "existence of the people" into an absurd unreal status,the so-called "existence of an unreal world." The visual impression showed in Bacon's works,in fact,is only a characterization of the screen,and in this characterization,Bacon had no intention to let "violence" to be the final interpretation of the screen.In Bacon's own words,"I show violence in my painting,because I see it as part of existence." Bacon's real intentions are to express "human existence."There are a lot of consistency between the connotation showed in Bacon's works and the theory of French philosopher Jean Paul - Jean-Paul Sartre(Jean Paul Sartre,1905-1980) 's existentialism.Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophical discourse on "self-existence of' is the reveal of "self' in Bacon's painting.Out of the relationship between personal and social considerations, Sartre had to amend the concept of "freedom" after the war,which also corresponds to the recognition of "broken self' in Bacon's works.On the contrary,Bacon also coincides in this identity of Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophical ideas "give meaning to the volt life",revealing the "real life." Comparing both of them,it is not difficult to find that there is a kind of "existential" tendency in Bacon's works.In this paper,it is divided into five chapters.The first chapter discusses the way of self-digestion in Francis Bacon's works.ChapterⅡdiscusses Jean-Paul Sartre's theory,as well as the impact on the Bacon's works from artistic opinion of the so called "existentialism artists" Giacometti.ChapterⅢdiscusses the consistency of Bacon's re-interpretation on the works of Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Vel(?)quez and Vincent Van Gogh with Sartre's theory.ChapterⅣdiscusses the role of the opposite between the space and the main body in Bacon' works revealing the connotation in Bacon's works.ChapterⅤdiscusses the consistency between the "integrity of the self' and "shattered self' appearing in works of Francis Bacon and Sartre's theory.Even though the current academic has more clear understanding of the unreasonable components in Jean-Paul Sartre's theory,and they think that the philosophy of subjective idealism of this doctrine will lead to pessimistic outlook on the world,and even some scholars criticized the nature of Sartre's theory is non-humanitarian humanitarian,but this correlation is not related to the subject of this article.In this article,I just put Jean-Paul Sartre's theory into the historical context to study the relation to the contemporary artist Bacon's works.The purpose of this study is to reveal the nature of content in Bacon's works, comprehensively analysis and interpret Bacon's art inspection's relevance to Western philosophy. At argument on the subject of this article,I mainly use analog methods and the principles of phenomenology,in the light of Sartre's existential theory of the basic content analyze the connotation in Bacon's works,and to find common ground between the two and then come to the conclusion.On the analysis of Bacon's works in this paper,I mainly use the image principle study to analyze the derived implicit in the works under the characterization of the deep meaning.
