one the first examples would be going to morocco after his friend, peter lacy died while he was in london. through the town that he was buried and does remarkable landscape, which is here in the exhibition. then in the '70s he turned again to landscape painting after the death of george dyer. "piece of wasteland" they're nonfigurative. but there's action in those figures. i think the conversation there is about action painting. he's making a commentary on the rise of abstract expressionism, abstract painting and making his -- this is his challenge. blood of the pavement, you look at that painting see the stacked bands as you would in a rosco, similar pallet. but simply to the title "blood on a pavement" there's so many more -- so much more resonance there. it sets up of associations in a viewer's mind. i hear bacon saying, you see, mr. rosco, simply by calling my paint snook blood on a pavement" i can have much more profound relationship with my viewers than you can. rosco not here, his painting can make you cry and be extraordinary moving. but in a different way. in the paintings, bacon
