Francis Bacon's painting is interesting because the face is not how a face would typically look. The lines and colours make my eyes follow along. The colours chosen are all deeper tones and more mature looking. The shapes of the features on the face are disproportional. There is value changes ranging from black to white, dark to light. There is both positive and negative space, the negative space is all back but the positive space has more variety of colours. The painting interests me most by the colours used to show the face features and how they are not how typical faces look like but it is very interesting because I don't often see self portraits that look like this!
