Bacon famously drew inspiration from photographs, film stills and a range of multi-media sources. In this revised and updated edition of Harrison's critical examination of his work, how these sources affected some of his most important paintings is explored and revealed, as well as his development as an artist under the influence of master artists such as Poussin and Rodin.
