I’m not a huge Francis Bacon fan, but his work just came up in a conversation I had, and I figured I’d alert any Bacon fans out there to this event: On Jan. 27, the Milwaukee Art Museum (aka: the MAM) will open “Francis Bacon in the 1950s,” an exhibit of more than 50 paintings and drawings from the Bacon’s formative period. The show includes the well-knwn (and certainly rather odd) “Figure With Meat.” Again, not quite my cup of tea, but Bacon was rather a genius, if somewhat crazy.
