Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900

National Gallery, until 12 January 2014

Francis Bacon/Henry Moore: Flesh and Bone

Ashmolean, Oxford, until 19 January 2014

The gallery layout has been usefully adapted to display the work thematically rather than chronologically, which is more dynamic but stylistically confusing.
