Francis Bacon

As an artist myself, this man's work often makes me feel like a knuckle-dragging troglodyte/uncultured cur because I know I will never be able to come anywhere close to producing something so awe-inspiring or imaginative as this. What Bacon does with color and form is just beyond me...without a doubt, one of the greats.
