Francis Bacon: In Camera
at Compton Verney, Warwickshire CV35 9HZ
27 March to 20 June 2010
"This exhibition will for the first time focus on Bacon's source material and working methods. Besides significant oil paintings from 1944 to 1989, it will include archival material from Bacon's studio, now in Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and film footage and stills which shed new light on the visual references to film and photography in his work and his transformation of these images in fluid oil paint."
