The Brutality of Fact: "FB--I suppose it's that I'm not short of images at all; I have thousands of them. That's not a problem. I don't see why it should ever be a problem for a painter--for any real painter. By saying that, I don't think I'm a real painter either, but I happen to be very, very full of images." - David Sylvester/Interviews with Francis Bacon/Thames & Hudson 2012
