Bacon has the ability to show stops and silence of various kinds in his work of arts. He wants to make something special so it's unlike other paintings. Bacon wants to create something that has depth and complexity, something that gives other's a sensation without them getting too bored or looking into it too much. Instead of wanting a story in his pieces, he says that he wants people to just stick to the facts rather than making a whole story. What would've been the outcome if Bacon had decided not to implement stops and silence of various kinds in the process of his paintings?

I thought this line was interesting because they pointed out how we sometimes discover something that we have always known. I was then wondering, what if these classics never pointed these things out, would we have known or figured out that we known these "things"?
