A couple of Bacon's self-portaits. Bacon's dark, sometimes grotesque paintings show us the divided, introspective self of the painter. I really enjoy when a painting is able to tell a story and introduce us to the painter himself. That's one of the reasons I like Bacon.
To look at more of his work check out these two sites, www.artchive.com or www.artcycylopedia.com.

Ghostly images, forgrounding the nature of the self and of images. Nice.
