Bacon's painting arrived from Iran
I have read in the news that Tehran's Museum of Contemporary Art has loaned one of Francis Bacon's painting to Tate Gallery in London and it is on show on Friday for the first time in more than 30 years.
The renowned British artist painted the three-panelled work called Two Figures Lying on a Bed with Attendants in 1968. It shows figures in two flanking panels who appear to spy on two naked men lying on a bed in the central panel. Bacon frequently suggests an equivalence between human beings and other creatures in his work and in the left panel he seems to connect a wading bird and a man, while on the right he draws a parallel between an ape and a suited figure. All these years this painting among other artworks was in the Iran's museum stock and never displayed for the public.
I hope the government would start to understand that all of these works is kind of investment for the country and know how to keep and protect them.
Well this painting will be on display at the Tate Britain gallery in London for six months.
