I remember seeing the photo and noting critically that I looked chubby for my usually stringy self … I thought it reflected a lack of professionalism on my part that I was self conscious; that it was reflected in the photo. I subsequently learned to pose, ironically, after getting out of the courtroom art business, which was taking on a perverse, decidedly inartistic brutality – and going into art modeling. A shy gay class monitor came up to me and showed me an old book, like soft Bettie Page . . . “Would you mind posing like this..?”, he asked.I found that I could battle the boredom of modeling by challenging myself to the most physically subtle and contrapuntal of sexy poses … nothing vulgar, just a hip and shoulder in the most extreme place for the longest time… I was called, ” The best model I ever saw in my life..”, by Nelson Shanks, well known portraitist to the Illuminati . . .

Untitled Paper Cut 1

Posted on June11, 2011 by Robert Asman

……….These are selected works presented in honor and recognition of the first exhibition of Francis Bacon’s; Drawings/Works on Paper. The exhibition is entitled FBacon7 and opens in Venice this summer. The exhibition deals with his many drawings and attempts to bring the neurological sense of the modern violence/surrealism of humanity to paper. I believe this is the first ever major works on paper exhibit of this legendary artist.

Since paper is a fragile 3 dimensional medium, Bacon’s sense of foreboding with his materials is poignant and humanizing in contrast to his bold, aggressive canvasses: which handled his sense of human violence less subtlly. These photographs were made with the basic black and white camera, film, silver paper…light sensitive materials.

The paper negatives are altered by hand with cutting, tearing, scratching before being placed in the photographic enlarger for printing. The enlargements are unique gelatin silver prints; toned, and chemically manipulated to add the genuine hues and colors consistent with the materials of the photographic medium.

Practicing and experiencing the genuine silver photographic process is very conducive to the neurological transference of violence Bacon worked to express.
