       | The art style of Francis Bacon is fantastic, but the troubled
       | life he led is maybe even more intriguing, mysterious and dark.

       | For those curious, here's a very well done documentary on Francis
       | by BBC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgrO5za0lSY (warning,

       | Fascinating character for sure. He once gave an interview to the
       | Swiss public TV. He gets drunker and drunker as the interview
       | goes and gives great insights on his art [2].
