Magpie #200 Two Friends

Self-portrait by Francis Bacon 

Two close friends

Shared their love of painting 

Now laugh uproariously

Over money spent

~~~~~~

Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon met in 1945. An intense bond quickly

developed between these two giants of post-war British painting.

It was inevitable that each would soon appear in the other's paintings.

Francis Bacon's painting  "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" recently

set the record as the most expensive piece of art ever auctioned,

selling for $142,405,000.

Francis Bacon died April 28, 1992 and Lucian Freud died July 20, 2011.
