Time Out says

The hype that puts Bacon above all other painters of the twentieth century isn't justified, but what he lacked in beauty and sensitivity he made up for in originality and honesty. What new do we learn? That he worked on a bigger scale than generally imagined, that he could use colour if the subject demanded it and that, alas, the cult of personality will never let him rest in peace. (OW)
