Thursday Challenge—"red"


Spotted in Budapest last September—this
work, called "Still Life With (removable) Bacon,"
by the Hungarian artist Franyo Aatoth
(btw, Aatoth is his first name; in Hungary
names are said last first).

    Hello Alexa,

    What fun this image is and was. The Varfok Gallery, in which this work was hung, is a favourite of ours and this is their 25th anniversary year.

    It is fun to think of the four of us there with our darling friend, Krisztina.

      Yes! What a treat it was to have the gallery—and the expertise of the lovely Krisztina—all to ourselves. I learned so much that day, from her AND from the two of you.

      ...and I am ready to go back with lots of room in my suitcase for petite works of art.

      Bises,

    I could think of other things to put there besides bacon.

    A striking, cryptic message. I'd love to know what the artist was thinking.
    Nice photograph too Alexa.

    I am torn. Rouge or bacon? I can't choose!
