520  1   $a"Francis Bacon famously found inspiration in
         photographs, film-stills and mass-media imagery. In Camera,
         a bravura accomplishment of original research, reveals how
         these new media informed some of Bacon's most important
         paintings and triggered decisive turning-points in his
         stylistic development." "Martin Harrison, who was granted
         privileged and unparalleled access to unpublished material
         from the archives, provides a new understanding of the
         thought processes and working methods of the creator of one
         of the most compelling bodies of work in twentieth-century
         art. Bacon's painting is considered in the context of key
         influences - whether film directors such as Sergei
         Eisenstein, photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge and
         John Deakin, or masters such as Velazquez, Poussin and
         Picasso. His work is also reviewed in the context of his
         contemporaries, including Lucian Freud, Mark Rothko, Graham
         Sutherland and Patrick Heron."--BOOK JACKET.
