[Leica] IMGs: Francis Bacon and other slices

[Douglas Barry]

Thanks Jayanand, George and Lluis. The skies are very dark around here 
in the winter light, and the gallery's lighting wasn't great for 
photography either.

Lluis, the Goya inspired piece by Robert Ballagh was painted in 1970 and 
was a reflection of the eruption of "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland. 
I will ask Mr. Ballagh whether the colours were also intended to reflect 
those of the Spanish Republic when I next see him at an exhibition 
opening if I get to one. He is also a photographer, and a man who likes 
his Rolleiflex.

Thanks for sharing this ingteresting visit, I’ve found very interesting the Goya’s re-interpretation, can you tell me in which year was painted? In my opinion it is not casual that the main colors on this reproduction represent the Spanish Republican Flag, not the actual one….

I wandered around Eccles St. where Leopold Bloom - the hero of James Joyce's opus "Ulysses" - lived, and then I went around to visit the Hugh Lane Gallery which is the Municipal Modern Art Museum for Dublin. In addition to works by international artists like Renoir, Degas, Rodin, etc. the gallery contains a lot of Irish works, and also has the original studio of Francis Bacon who was born in the city. After his death in 1992, the studio was dismantled in its entirety and meticulously reassembled in a Bacon dedicated area in the Gallery.
