The pathos of human vulnerability
and loss of faith or conviction are accentuated by the precisely
rendered space frames in many Bacon images of popes. (…) He may have
been attracted to the Velázquez picture as an iconic distillation of
power, which made it such a vivid precursor to Fascist propaganda
photography. In later works in the series, Bacon inserted references to
photographs of the then pontiff, Pope Pius XII, a controversial figure
who was thought by some to have appeased the Nazis. Bacon’s obsessive
reworking of the papal theme suggests that it may have possessed further
significance and perhaps psychological charge for the artist in
relation to his sexuality. It has been remarked that the Pope in
official garb is in a sense the ultimate drag queen, or less literally
that depictions of the Holy Father, known in Italy as ‘il Papa’, may
encapsulate Bacon’s traumatic feelings about his own father.
Asta pentru că Bacon a fost atras
sexual de tatăl său, care i-a pedepsit aspru înclinațiile homosexuale.
De aici, anumite interpretări ale portretelor lui Bacon direcționează
către psihanaliza freudiană.in imagine: Study after Velazquez’s Portrait of Pop Innocent X 1953. Diego Velazquez Pope Innocent X 1650
