...maker of images," Bacon once said, that produce an impact "immediately on the nervous system." Picasso gave him the artistic vocabulary to do that. Bacon claimed it was this "brutality of fact" that linked their work. But Bacon clearly wins in the cruelty stakes, especially in his nudes.

The HoCo responded with a rule that men would have to wear suits, but only during the unlikely hours of 3 and 5 a.m. Instead of protesting the preposterous hours, the women one-upped the men and shed their swimsuits...
