GUGGENHEIM-Fifth Ave. at 89th St. More than 60 oils by Francis Bacon, the myopic English master of howling, human agony. Yammering popes, chittering baboons, keening sides of beef hang alongside the terrifying visceral Three Studies for a Crucifixion. Through...
...amateurs are quite so bold-though most teams swear that they can "hang in there" with any small college. Practice is generally limited to one night a week, often on poor fields with inadequate lighting, and a team's repertory is likely to be dictated by circumstance as much as by design.

In one oil, a viceroy's horse becomes an intricate tattoo symbol of itself, and the European painter's tradition sinks in a jungle...
