- <p> DIED. Francis Bacon, 82, master painter of the soul in
- torment; in Madrid. Born in Dublin, Bacon spent most of his life
- in London, where he created an emblem for the postwar mood of
- dissatisfaction with his smeared and twisted figures who writhe
- in brightly colored confinements. Although he was regarded as
- one of the great modern artists, his unyielding gloom was not
- to every critic's taste.
