Londres, l'hiver. Aller à la rencontre de Francis Bacon, entamer l'ultime dialogue auquel il a consenti. Pourtant il dira : «On ne peut parler de peinture. On ne peut pas.» Prévenance de géant, humilité du labeur. Or il parlera, autrement qu'attendu mais il parlera, dans le clair-obscur de l'atelier, au détour de la rue, dans la nuit des pubs, jusqu'à retourner les questions. L'enfance, les amis et les rencontres, l'art et la création, encore et toujours le travail : il ne le sait pas - nul ne peut alors le savoir - mais à quelques semaines de sa disparition, il compose le plus libre et le plus étonnant des témoignages cousu en coin de sa vie, posé en regard de son oeuvre. À travers le mythe transparaît enfin l'homme. Et Bacon, qui aura dominé la peinture dans ce siècle et par-delà, délivre sans compter ce qu'il nous faut nommer son testament.

Si quelque chose est fort, les gens pensent que c'est douloureux. En fait, je ne crois pas que mes tableaux aient quelque chose à voir avec la douleur. Mais ils n'ont surtout rien à voir avec la séduction. La réalité émeut, fascine, effraie, émerveille ou excite, mais elle ne séduit pas. » Francis Bacon Artiste autodidacte, on reconnaît parmi les influences qui ont marqué Bacon (né le 28 octobre 1909 à Dublin et mort le 28 avril 1992 à Madrid), Picasso mais aussi Vélasquez, Poussin ou encore Rembrandt. Bacon affirmait par ailleurs que l'influence du surréalisme sur son travail ne provenait pas de la peinture mais des films de Buñuel comme Un chien andalou. Au long de sa carrière, il affine son style, délaissant les images de violence crue de ses débuts pour préférer « peindre le cri plutôt que l'horreur », prônant que la violence doit résider dans la peinture elle-même, et non dans la scène qu'elle montre.
Francis Bacon fut un artiste prolixe qui a laissé de très nombreux interviews et documentaires audio et vidéo, où il exprime avec clarté et une simplicité touchante ce qu'est pour lui l'art de la peinture.

Published in 1605, Sir Francis Bacon's `The Advancement of Learning' is a ground-breaking philosophical work that outlines his empirical scientific method. Addressed to King James I, this two book treatise argues the importance of utilising observable facts over reason or feeling in science. Cutting through the noise of the English Renaissance, Bacon clearly and concisely explains his ideas for human progress, and where scientific thought could take us.
Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English author, philosopher, and statesman. A prolific author, his work has spanned science, religion and literary fiction. His work has had a profound impact on science, and he is often regarded as `The Father of Empiricism'. His most important books, `Novum Organum' and `New Atlantis' have a significant legacy. `Novum Organum' was heavily influential to 17th century scholars, particularly Sir Thomas Browne who utilised `The Baconian Method' for much of his encyclopaedia `Pseudodoxia Epidemica'. `Salomon's House' from `The New Atlantis' was frequently used as inspiration for the establishment of `The Royal Society', the United Kingdom's national academy for sciences. -
Sir Francis Bacon's `The New Atlantis' is an Early Modern Utopian novel that explores an idealised view of what human progress can achieve. The novel centres around the Utopian Island of `Bensalem' and its inhabitants, who embody Bacon's dreams for humanity through their kind-hearted, enlightened, and communal spirit. Throughout this work, Bacon demonstrates the importance of religious freedom in Christian society, as well as the integration of science and `The Baconian Method' into education. `Salomon's House' represents the apex of Bacon's vision, a modern research university that focuses on the cutting edge of scientific discovery. `The New Atlantis' was published posthumously in 1628, never completed. Despite this, it still offers a rich vision of what `The Father of Empiricism' believed humanity could become. `The New Atlantis' remains one of the most important works of Utopic Fiction, alongside Sir Thomas More's `Utopia'.

Sir Francis Bacon had a tremendous impact on science and philosophy during the scientific revolution in XVIIth-century England. He was the first to argue for a skeptical and methodical approach in science, based on careful observation of events in nature, and founded on induction. His work, firmly grounded in empiricism to prevent projection of one's preferred hypothesis, made him the father of scientific method. This was a groundbreaking turn of events at the time, and is still the basis of the scientific framework today. We have selected for you 100 of his most influential quotes, for you to discover the inner workings of an honest scientific mind, and get inspired by his straightforward approach.

Pas de méthode scientifique moderne sans Sir Francis Bacon. Son oeuvre s'inscrit dans le cadre de la révolution scientifique, qui prit son essor au XVIIe siècle en Angleterre et décida de toute l'évolution de la pensée philosophique et scientifique. C'est à lui que l'on doit l'idée d'une approche méthodique, fondée sur l'observation prudente des faits de la nature. Il fut le premier à défendre l'idée de l'empirisme comme base du travail scientifique, afin d'éviter la projection et les distorsions dûes à une préférence pour l'une ou l'autre hypothèse. Cette approche révolutionnaire pour l'époque est aujourd'hui au fondement de l'approche scientifique moderne.

Nous publions en édition bilingue l'Essai d'un traité sur la justice universelle, comme il parut dans l'édition de 1824 accomplie par J.B. De Vauzelles, qui l'avait accompagné d'autres textes judiciaires de Bacon : Eléments du droit commun d'Angleterre, Des devoirs d'un juge, Discours au justicier Hutton, Avis à Sir Georges Villiers... enfin De la révision des lois anglaises. Dans ce texte majeur, De la justice universelle, Bacon met au jour les "lois des lois", autant ce qui préside à leur genèse que les principes pour les produire : la loi qui dicte la loi.

A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. The term was coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the south Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America. The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia, which dominates the fictional literature. Dystopian fiction (sometimes combined with, but distinct from, apocalyptic fiction) offers the opposite: the portrayal of a setting that completely disagrees with the author's ethos.

Known as the High Renaissance period, the philosophy of the 1500s leaned towards establishing the relationship between the human body and the human soul. Logic was waning as a philosophical ideal and, instead, the focus fell on human nature.

A superb gift for history buffs and philosophy fans alike.
Miguel de Cervantes (1547 - 1616) was born in Spain and went on to become one of the most important figures in Spanish literature.

Born in Italy, Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519) was an artist, inventor, scientist, and sculptor, who is best known for painting the `Mona Lisa,' while Francis Bacon (1909 - 1992) is best known as an existential artist. -
