This wasn't actually "taken in a short moment of opportunity", but the buying of the painting it features definitely was. I found it by chance and immediately decided to get it while it was still available. You need to have been to Porto to recognize what it portrays. It's been in my living room for about 3 years and I love it.
AFRICAN WOMEN WASHING AT THE RIVER.
Francis Bacon, 1983 "Francis Bacon picked me up in a club in London. I didn’t know who he was then. I said, "Who’s this who keeps buying me Scotch and soda?" and someone told me he was a very famous painter. I don’t think he had a thing for me so much as for anyone going. To him, I was a bit of rough."
From his new book, Eye by David Bailey
