Easy to notice

In 1976, without  money and alone in Paris, all I could afford was visiting galleries. In a window I saw three amazing paintings. At least  amazing by my taste. The figurative was back in a shocking way.  This is the guy I said. It was Bacon. Yesterday a triptic of his beat all records.  Irony of ironies - representing his friend and competitor, Freud.
