I'm not a person who's studied art, I only know about it what I've learnt watching videos and reading articles and going to museums. Yet, there's something about Bacon I truly like. I don't know what it is. I like other painters, other styles, they're wonderful, but Bacon... Whatever it is, he had it.

Breathtaking… Presence of greatness. Bacon was a genius.

Just visited this amazing show. Later in the week went to The Courtauld for the Van Gogh Self-Portraits exhibition. I feel so lucky to have been in London during this time frame!

@@LucyLouMinou I've loved Bacon since I was a teen, moved to NYC for 16 years and even worked at the Whitney, never saw one. Visited L.A. for a week and went to a ritzy restaurant (Morton's - does not exist now but famous w/ Oscar party crowd) and saw one hanging and was stunned. A waiter confided in me it was actually a reproduction and the owner had sold the real deal, who knows tho. The wall paint and paintings in this exhibit are like nothing I've seen (and I virtually lived at the Met every week for years, seen it all). It works to contrast garishly well w/ Bacon's brilliant oranges and in other instances it works in concert w/ the painting, like an echo chamber, such as the dark brown w/ the paralytic child painting. So much of the enjoyment of Bacon is those wide open spaces of color and each phase of him it's like a new box of colors. Even the "groovy" 70s period w/ the pinks and the spray is one I love and his "covers" of his earlier work, particularly when he gets into these day-glow yellows and even his maroons on the redo of the '45 triptych are just gorgeous. Another thing regarding the curation here: The lighting. With that older glass having the higher iron content, the way they use toned down the lighting really removes the glares and reflections in the glazing. If you were any part of that, it's world class. And again, as I got into any museum in the world free w/ my Whitney ID card, I've seen just about everything.
