80 to 65. a major new retrospective of irish born british artist francis bacon will open in paris on wednesday the pompidou center will display 60 works produced by the painter during the last 2 decades of his career bacon's images often focus on human pain and his rawer distinctive style continues saying to creagh and in thrall art lovers about every pore some powers. francis bacon captured the wrongness of the human condition and used a striking palette to indulge his fascination with the body his paintings often represented doomed lovers or dwelled on death and new exhibition of paris's pompidou center shows how the british 20th century artists exploration of existence intensified in his later years is goal in his in his work that's to express life but when you express life when you are fascinated by life you have to deal with death because life and death are mixed to give or bacon had

a reputation for being witty and a gambler above vivre who drew inspiration from postwar london's nightlife by contrast his canvases simmer with profound and at times violent contemplation and i would never compete with the. busy things happening every day in the world so busy i can't imagine why they think my work as. the exhibition also focuses on bacon's love of literature we established between literature interest and painted because we know bacon was a. reader and more and more during in time to talk about literature francis bacon is considered one of 20th century western arts most important and influential figurative painters and his more remarkable because he was never formally trained it was actually here in paris that as

a young man he decided to become an artist. on bacon's 1st trip to paris in the 1920 s. a picasso exhibition inspired him to become an artist he returned to the city often and befriended famous french writers including michel larry says the link with with the french intellectuals is very important in that way and when he moved to paris when he gets this studio in libya in 74 he starts to meet more often which is presenting him to other poets like sector pa and so on the 60 paintings on display spanned the last 2 decades of bacon's life and include his last known work it was finished a few months before the 82 year old artist died in madrid in 1992 the shadowy figure of a fading bull is full of mystery and for polluting a sign perhaps the bacon knew his own existence was nearing its end natasha

raising children isn't easy and it can sometimes seem the worry is a never ending bus ship digital screens the high to the list of things the fear of they simply be embraced as part of parenting today that question is causing debate both in families and in academia after a series of studies have come up with controversial guidelines i think the ok in your industry so you've probably thought about the impact of screen time on the mind of young says this is a community calm ostend have this when the world health organization issues are poor like this that says that children should play more and set us where they're trying to do is just put an idea in our minds is up to every individual parent decide and set guidelines for their children's ability to use the internet all they want to do is start the debate the same kind of debate that we have here in the stream which is that we don't really know what happens when kids grow up with the

most advanced learning technologies that have ever existed yet. so you have an opinion you can tweet it to us right now at a stream which i thought of into this conversation now in april the world health organization issued new guidelines on how much time parents should allow young children to spend looking at screens phones tablets or t.v.'s these are the key findings children younger than one year old should not have any screen time and children aged $2.00 to $4.00 can have passive screen time tapped out one hour a day passes screen time means for example watching a screen versus interacting with an app or playing a gang bots are such limits and guidelines one size fits all as carl suggested just there in his comment to us it has opened up a big debate the royal college of pediatrics in the u.k. believes the evidence to screen harm is often of a stated it has also said that connections between screen time and negative effects

are mainly due to its impact on socializing exercise and sleep so to help us navigate all of this conflicting information from its president is a co-investigator at the laureate institute for brain research also joining us via skype from philadelphia jordan shapiro he's author of the book the new childhood raising kids to thrive in a connected well out and talk to her about it is an adolescent psychiatrist assistant professor at the university of california san diego it's good to have your hair every body jordan and guess i'm just wondering the reason we're even debating this always scared of the screens that we have out there right now we scared that we don't know what they doing to our youngsters and to our babies is this conversation driven by fear or because there may well be an educational impact on gangsta's looking at scripts well i think it's absolutely driven by fear you know. all these devices are sort of here to stay that part of our lives and well it's certainly good things to be concerned about as in told us it seems to be from

screen to be seen like kids who seem easily distracted kids who. are too focused on video games kids who have unhealthy divisive unhealthy relationships with their devices and i think that there's not really the research to back up that that's problematic right so i think we have to do a lot more thinking about i like to say more mentoring and less censoring right we need to think about how do we raise our kids in a big live in a healthy way with these screens good as it goes i'm pretty sure they're here to stay and try to work out what screen the harm is could you explain that to me for let's do you know what screen harm is could you give us a definition. screen harm is very i think dependent on and any child you know if your child is using a device and having a negative consequences like they're having in terms when you take it away or it's affecting their sleep then that's a harm to them but i do think it's very individualized as missing children and how

what they're doing and then how there is acting i don't think that in one size fits all this is what's harmful this is how it's hurting us and how do we know that car i'm just wondering how do we get to a stage now where we've got some gold guidelines from the well the health organization it's not even from a country or from a government but from the well health organizations and if you know one or under it shouldn't be looking at a screen. yes i think we know what's important developmentally especially for infants and children especially at the age of one or infancy below it age one we know that social development communication is really really important and when you're staring at a screen you're not learning in a traditional manner so infants usually learn by communicating and have risk having reciprocal conversations with others reading other people's facial expressions that's how we learn how to navigate the world and if they're just passively looking

at something they're not learning those skills get i wanted to show you something that there are so many fascinating videos of youngsters looking at screens and being sucked into the screens and of course all of the studies that we can't show those videos but i can show you an instagram of my niece on her 1st birthday that i took of her i'm going to take you out here down but there's going to be a moment where she sees herself on the screen and see what she does say here here we are 1st birthday my little niece let's play she's looking at. i have a. look at that she's looking at herself who is that kid it but that's how at the screen she stopped and looked at the screen this things are on tape putting on a cigarette and you go back to it again and look she's making faces at the screen so this is a one year old doing that so what is that doing for us to y.o.o.'s by the king at that screen have i done much to for life probably not. you know most of my research

is actually older kids but a lot of younger kids from what we see when they look at screens specially at that age i think you see a little bit of the mirror effect we used to do this you know when my kids were babies to me put it near their bed and they would make faces they soon as they saw them so they look at it and try to hammer it out so i think that we're seeing a lot of that and a kind of follow up with what kara said that's great that is you know whether they're looking in a mirror they're seeing themselves reflected back on a screen i don't think that that's necessarily problematic the problem is if that's the majority or that's a lot of the communication interaction that they have that they're not getting that reciprocal back and forth which is critical to their development so looking at that screen scene themselves not really problematic if they're just looking at something else and they're not getting any feedback they're not even seen themselves it's not i don't i don't know that it's necessarily that bad we're that good or on harmful but it's taking away time that they need to be spending other things you know and

been sleep a lot so when they are awake it's those critical times to help their development and as a screen union is not going to. yes not going to help in any of those hearings i think the evidence. so i think that the evidence is also not showing that kids and in the video was adorable and your niece is adorable. but if you had i don't think that kids are really spending most of their time on screens looking at themselves yet the majority of the time that kids are spending on screens are watching other things so while they are getting some of this mirroring effect which we know is important for infancy most of the time they're not actually doing that they're passively watching or engaging with the screen and so i think that is really the downside of it john and i had well i was going to say one of the things i loved about the video for me was that we saw we saw as a kid interacting your you're nice interacting with adults which means which means

he was still having that sort of serving response but so important and that's what i would really like to see in the world is a lot more adults and children interacting with screens together and moving back and forth between screens and eye contact which is exactly what we saw is happening in there in that video so so we end up doing both things we end up both getting these great positive it human interactions but also sort of socializing the child to be able to make sense of a life lived with screens which is which is presumably the kind of world that the child's going to grow up in because i don't know that i don't know about another one so so so so i thought that it was sort of a perfect example of what i love to see which is which is what's called joint media engagement now i completely agree with with carol which is that if we have.
