...real peculiarity of his figurative style is that it manages to be both precise and ungraspable, for its distortions of face and limb bear little relationship to anything that painters have done to the human body since Cezanne. Forms are governed by slippage: they smear sideways, rotating, not like the succession of displayed facts and transparent planes in cubism, but as though they had endured some terminal rearrangement by massage. Their shape retains an obstinate integrity, the precise result of a sudden movement. And by the early to mid-'60s, the time of the great triptychs, when Bacon decisively abandoned...
General Motors Chairman Roger Bonham Smith, who turns 60 next month, does not look as if he would shake apples from a tree, let alone the entire trunk and limb structure of the world's largest automaker.

And Eugene Roach sat down...
...pseudarthrosis (false joint) of the tibia. In the one out of 140,000 children who is born with this condition, a leg bone may be so weak and unstable that it gives way almost as easily as a knee joint. Fully 50% of these children ultimately lose the affected limb...
