...This summer a group of tourists who had gone to Norway on a whale safari - to see and photograph the magnificent animals, not shoot them - were horrified to see a whale harpooned before their eyes. That bloody scene was followed by the grisly sight of the butchering of a carcass on another ship. The whalers were unrepentant. With its income from North Sea oil, Norway has no economic reason to support its contemptuous stance on whaling.

Like any Yankee or Marlin, you want to shake the stiffness of winter out of your carcass and bound into spring like a line drive.

...Bacon was entirely self-taught, and Picasso was hardly his only influence. Bacon's debt to Rembrandt's 1655 Carcass of Beef, for example, is obvious in his own renderings of raw meat. But when Bacon died in 1992, he left behind a London studio dominated by the reproductions, press clippings, published anecdotes and other worked-over memorabilia of one painter: Pablo Picasso. Such single-mindedness makes for a great two-person show...
