You’re right about obsession. Both Velasquez and Bacon were visionaries committed to their work. Velasquez could reveal a sitter’s true character with his insight and skill. Bacon went beyond physical reality and painted a subject’s essence. Both artists created many great works that continue to fascinate and inspire art lovers. It is great to see their paintings side by side.
