"Take your pleasures seriously." - Charles Eames

Hello,went to the Tate for the last day of the Bacon exhibition.It was packed but worth it and naturally there was the regret that I didn't make the effort earlier. Some things just need to be seen in the flesh and painting and architecture demand that effort is made. I rather like Bacon's studio which was a tip or as Ollie would say,'a fine mess'. Room 6 was particularly interesting as it exhibited material found in his studio after his death. We all want to know the how and why but like any good act, it must seem effortless even if it was laboured.
