Get the best Bacon at Sainsbury's. Please go to this if you can make it. Powerful stuff.  
Some of his work is hideously aggressive and unsettling, but mostly beautifully, and totally compelling - in my humble opinion. 

Studies for Portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne

Francis Bacon and the Masters the current exhibition at SCVA brings together over 100 major works by Francis Bacon with old and modern masters including Velázquez, Rembrandt, Titian, Michelangelo, Rodin, Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse.
The exhibition explores Bacon's obsession with the art of the past, examining how he consistently drew on the work of masters such as Michelangelo, Velázquez and Degas, as well as to the stylized forms of ancient Greek and Roman works. 

As the Sainsbury’s director, Paul Greenhalgh, told journalists last week: “It doesn’t matter what you think of Francis Bacon, the show is crammed with masterworks.”
