In Camera - Francis Bacon by Martin Harrison
With the aid of over 250 source images and documents, this text reveals how photographs, film, mass-media imagery and other sources informed Bacon's painting and, in particular, how 'lens-based images' helped to trigger the most significant turning point in his stylistic development.
'An indispensable work of reference for anyone wishing to follow the protracted dialogue that Bacon conducted with photography – and through photography with the art of the past,his own work and real life' - Art Newspaper
