Wood and trees
I'm getting paraniod and conflating. And disullsioned and cranky in my old age. You credentials and record are actually very impressive. Bacon is a really big thing to me, I connect to him far more than any other painter or writer/composer/song and dance man or whatever, but have not yet have had the guts to tackle the bio in a real way, ironic as I spent the late 90s compiling (typically garisgh for the 90s), a huge online image gallery of his work, and have more bios, monographs, and articles than might be considered healthy, or attractive to sane women. You caught me in the middle of a "I want out of this time sink" and a bitter fued with JC on the Yeats page, and they just meshed together and well.
