Painting Description

The painting I chose is called Number VII from Eight for a Portrait by Francis Bacon. Bacon's art work was first introduce in 1953 on Oil on linen, 60 x 46 1/8" (152.3 x 117 cm). The painting looks dark and it kinda has this roller coaster figure to it. The person or thing that was in this painting looks, confuse and scared. i say scared because of the way the painting looks. And judging by the way the person looks on the painting I can tell that this person is dead and looks more like a zombie then a human being It looks more of a 2D/3D figure. The zombie/human is dressed as if someone died and was placed on a coffin. There are two yellow flowers in the background. I chose this painting because it caught my attention and the way it looks. The first thing that caught my attention was the way the zombie figure thing looks as in it was sitting for a roller coaster ride. Since i've always like zombies and playing zombie game, that easily caught my attention. Not only that but to me it looks like a mixture of both 2D and 3D. Which to me is really cool. And the coloring of it just shows how much time and effort that the painter took to paint it. I find the coloring amazing because its black and black is one of my favorite colors. Plus it reminds me of my family, well the ones that passed away. I say that because I'm so use to going to funerals.
