5.0 out of 5 stars A great master learns from the great masters, 26 Aug 2008

By	Claude Reich (Florianopolis, Brazil and Paris, France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book illustrates an exhibition that was held in 2004 at the Beyeler foundation in Basel, Switzerland. The subject was to confront Bacon's paintings to those of the great masters who influenced him (Velasquez, Titian, Goya, Ingres,Picasso, Giacometti...)and who were omnipresent in his studio through photos of works, often in black and white, pinned on the walls or scattered on the floor. The many illustrations show that nothing Bacon painted sprang out of the blue, and that he was a keen and thoroughly knowledgeable student of art history. The book shows how he managed to transcend what his predecessors had already expressed,(passion, anxiety, the absurdity of life,the frailty of the human being...)and why he was one of the most powerful artists of the XXth century.
