[Oops! Typos corrected!:] Bacon's exhibition, described here, does not share in that vision, and while one can come to some certain forms of positive portrayals of his friends modeling for him, this is perhaps too obscured by the distorted, even decaying forms in which he human figures seem trapped. All initial impressions, though. I'll likely go back at least once and try to spend more time with the paintings. My family clearly had entered into a kind of mute despair at how slowly I move through an art gallery, mute, at least, until Aunt Helen came back and teased me about it.
