Don't worry, dear Pamela, I'll do my scientific best to command your fleet

I keep coming back to the painting
'Blood on the Pavement' (Bacon 1988)
It's kinda sparse and minimal in comparison
to most of his work, but this one has
something rather nihilistic? (?) about it..
(even more so than most that is..)

I recommend a good hard shot of vodka tonic,
a bag of Maltesers & 'Superstar' by Sonic Youth
on repeat whilst viewing this one.

  1. I love this painting by Bacon.
    Icy cool, rust, the way it is divided up. I love how minimal and calm this piece is, yet it quietly punches me in the gut.

  2. It is a play between his dismissal of 'abstract' and his love of visceral, an unusual painting for him isn't it?

  3. Yes, very unusual, I would have never known it was his unless you told me.
    I had never seen it before, but I am so glad I have now. Thank you.

  4. Got the vodka, got the Superstar, have to find a replacement for the maltesers this painting keeps on calling me back and since I can't see it in person this will do :)

  6. Lucky for me I get to see this and many more of Bacon's work this Saturday when I take my adventure into London.. There are many of his works on display I haven't seen before..

    Hope the replacement chocolate worked just as well for you Heather.
    (no Maltesers where you live??)

    I knew that Megan would like the divides in this one and it's impact.

    Wrenna, you are, of course,
    very welcome.

[B]p90x[/B] [B]p90x workout schedule[/B] are a lot of approaches which you can make that are available about, however the ideal a single of them is to [U]p90[/U] [U]p90x fitness guide[/U] uncover a correct diet plan and also to create [B]p90x manual[/B] some regular visits to the health club, [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com/insanity-workout-dvds.html]insanity workout[/URL][/B] here are some of the primary issues that you simply [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com]p90x before and after[/URL][/B] need to keep in mind:

    First, when [B]insanity fitness program[/B] begin working to build the muscles, [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com]p90x workout schedule[/URL][/B] would like to be extremely careful not to over do. [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com]p90x cheap[/URL][/B] cannot build the muscle while [U]p90x calendar[/U] are lying around the back! What we mean by this is do not hurt yourself, simply because when [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com]p90x[/URL][/B] are hurt you'll not be in a position to do [B]px90 workout plan[/B] kind of weight lifting or physical exercise. Although [B][URL=http://www.fitnessworkoutclub.com/insanity-workout-dvds.html]insanity fitness program[/URL][/B] must be working hard, [B]p90x[/B] [B]p90x results[/B] can't overdue it!
