Francis Bacon at the Tate - who has been?

[Cammelia]

I went yesterday, has anyone else been?

yes I went about 3 weeks ago. It was better than I expected. He was obviously really talented at drawing/painting but it was all a bit grotesque and disturbing for my taste. Plus he didn't come across as a particularly pleasant man.
Did you like it?

I felt like I'd visited an abbatoir

However I also think he's a brilliant artist

As a person, I don't know, I think it must have been really difficult for homosexuals when it was a crime
