Et sur ce aspect, c''est comme pour Soutine, avec son sizeable pitié de Juif. los angeles viande n''est pas une chair morte, elle a gardé toutes les souffrances et pris sur soi toutes les couleurs de los angeles chair vive. Tant de douleur convulsive et de vulnérabilité, mais aussi d''invention charmante, de couleur et d''acrobatie. Bacon ne dit pas «pitié pour les bêtes » mais plutôt tout homme qui souffre est de l. a. viande. l. a. viande est l. a. sector commune de l''homme et de los angeles bête, leur area d''indiscernabilité, elle est ce «fait», cet état même où le peintre s''identifie aux objets de son horreur ou de sa compassion. Le peintre est boucher certes, mais il est dans cette boucherie comme dans une église, avec los angeles viande pour Crucifié (« peinture » de 1946). C''est seulement dans les boucheries que Bacon est un peintre religieux. » G. D.
