Reviews
Received the Caravaggio/Bacon catalogue I had pre-ordered and was so excited about. Extremely disappointing, neither descriptive nor illustrative of the exhibition. If this was a comparative sampling, the book missed the concept altogether.Mostly regurgitated text, a lot of it said many times before by many of the same authors; some interesting speculation, most of it stretched; and gorgeous illustrations, but I had hoped to see the pairings.There is ONE example of images juxtaposed. Instead, the Caravaggios are bunched together, subdivided thematically; the Bacons separate, which makes no sense whatsoever. It is the pairings that make the exhibit. I'm sure this is not the way it hung at Rome's Galeria Borghese.The magnificent reproductions notwithstanding, I don't need yet another Caravaggio or Bacon book. I'm returning it.
