"Painting has nothing to do with illustration, it is in away its opposite...In a way it's purely by chance that something happens on the canvas...but while I'm painting, suddenly, out of the painting itself, in some way these forms and directions that I hadn't anticipated just appear. Itis these that I call accidents...Images can shatter the old order leaving nothing the same as before."
Francis Bacon, In Conversation with Michel Archimbaud, Phaidon, 1993.
