UbuWeb

One of the internet's best resources, UbuWeb encompasses the work of hundreds of artists with an immense library of audio, text, photo, and video all available for free. This post is merely to acknowledge their continued success at making accessible the work of countless minds upon many platforms. Last week they revamped their film & video hosting to now run more smoothly and to permit clip embedding. From their vaults, I offer a BBC program, The South Bank Show, airing in 1985 and consisting in an interview with one of 20th century-painting history's wonderful eccentrics: Francis Bacon. In a series of conversations, Bacon discusses his taste in art, ideas, influences, and fixations with interviewer Melvyn Bragg.
