A lavishly illustrated look at the sources behind the paintings of
Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon famously found inspiration in
photographs, film-stills and mass-media imagery. In this new,
updated edition of In Camera, Martin Harrison reveals how these
sources informed some of Bacon's most important paintings and
triggered decisive turning points in the artist's stylistic
development. Key influences, including the masters Velazquez,
Poussin and Rodin, the photographer Eadweard Muybridge and the film
director Sergei Eisenstein, are given close consideration. Bacon's
work is examined in relation to the precedents set by other artists
working in the tradition of making use of mechanical reproductions,
including Pablo Picasso and Walter Sickert, and in the context of
his contemporaries Lucian Freud, Mark Rothko, Graham Sutherland and
Patrick Heron. With the aid of over 270 illustrations, including
valuable source images and documents, In Camera is a bravura
accomplishment of original research, addressing important questions
about Bacon's painting practice and shedding fresh light on his
life and work.
