...when you wear them, you don't feel like they are English clothes because those are heavy. I like that you took that mood and used another technique. It's like Chanel, which is nothing more than the jacket of people who worked in a hotel where she used to go near Salzburg. She transformed their uniform - with a better cut - into the Chanel jacket...
...always a mistake to understand Bacon's work too quickly by way of his life. That's true even of the ferocious triptychs he made after the suicide of his lover George Dyer, a onetime London hood who killed himself in their hotel room on the eve of Bacon's 1971 Paris retrospective.

...Sure, there was debate - fervid, red-faced debate that sometimes came close to tears and blows - but those exchanges were consigned to hotel bars and fringe meetings. All arguments centered on a single issue: Can Prime Minister Gordon Brown win over increasingly fractious critics? Should Labour dump him in the hopes that a successor would rescue the party from its historic depths of unpopularity? Or would such an ouster unleash infighting that would shred what it was meant to save...
