A Howard Hodgkin exhibition in the Irish Museum of Modern Art is shortly on it's way to Tate London. Unfortunately it doesn't have In Paris with you, a work inspired by the eponymous poem by James Fenton. A strange inexplicable sensuality pervades both creations. I can't track down an image of the painting yet, but here's a snippet from Fenton:

Don’t talk to me of love. Let’s talk of Paris,
The little bit of Paris in our view.
There’s that crack across the ceiling
And the hotel walls are peeling
And I’m in Paris with you.
