2 October 2013. Bacon and Moore (Flesh and Bone) at the Ashmolean, Oxford.



I felt this exhibition had been a bit oversold by the critics. Of course, it was great to see three rooms of work by Bacon and Moore but the only thesis really was that they had common influences (Michelangelo, Rodin and Picasso) rather than that they had really influenced each other. So I got more from the individual artists’ works than from the theme of the exhibition – the relationship between them.
