Body aesthetics believes that the body and spirit are one, and that spirit and consciousness arise in the body, so we should pay attention to the feeling of the body. F. Bacon’s paintings take the body as the main content of expression, trying to depict an “image” that can trigger physical feelings. Bacon values the movement of the body in painting, the accidental nature of painting, and believes that art could break the shackles of society on the body. Body aesthetics is well interpreted in Bacon’s paintings.
