No Standard Premier today (birthdays only) so it's a DIY lunch on Eurostar's Standard class. Bacon. Mmmm nothing like the smell of a bacon sandwich. We are though talking Francis Bacon. That's why we are heading for Paris. We went to a Bacon exhibition back in 1996 at the Pompidou on 1st September. Bob (metaphorically) ran out screaming. And sadly I missed the London exhibition in 2008.
I am so looking forward to it. Bob - maybe less so!Leer más
Viajero Like the bacon with bacon. Hope Bob survives with his principles intact.

Viajero I feel the same as Bob - but he was mentioned during the Weimar Insight day we’ve just attended. Apparently, while Isherwood was staying in rooms in a (then) poor part of Berlin, Bacon, age 17, was staying at the Adlon with his tutor who then seduced him. Must have come from a wealthy background.

So here we are. Deep breath for Bob and off we go. Not too busy. All the works relate to six literary, poetic and philosophical texts from books in Bacon's library (eg the Wasteland, Heart of Darkness, Oresteia) and booths were set up where you could hear the text being spoken. Struggled a bit with the concept but still enjoyed (if that's the right word) the exhibition. Dark, savage, visceral - what's not to like?!Leer más

Viajero He survived - just! Needed a large glass of red afterwards though...

Viajero Did you have the wine at the Pompidou Bar? I’ll never forget them tipping two large glasses of red all over me, and not being terribly apologetic - Got to love that French hauteur!

No - I said - I don't want to see old Italian paintings with cherubs. And yet here we are! Ok no cherubs and much better than expected helped by the fact that we don't have to pay. This is the private collection of an American couple and is referred to as the Alana collection as a contraction of their names Alvaro and Ana.

Most exciting though was that we finally managed to get into the very lovely cafe for lunch. Usually a very long queue of little old ladies. But not today.Leer más
