| Man with Dog [1953] |
I first saw a Francis Bacon in London and up at Oxford - note the 'parlance'. A dog peeing at Erica Brausen's ** Hanover Gallery and I was stunned.
Next came the Study after Velasquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X, [1953] and the rest is history, as it is said.

| Lying Figure, 1969 |
**A German from a Berlin banking family, she escaped the Nazis and slipped into England anonymously in a group of white-clad worshipers of a famous Indian guru. Hers was the first gallery to my knowledge to show Bacon and, indeed, Magritte and Calder.
