I looked at Laura Letinsky's work throughout my still life module and was very interested in her fine art roots in which I share. Her contempory still life's draw influence from the Dutch 17th Century Golden Age of Painting.

Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Figure with Meat
1954


I recall seeing a collection of his work at the Tate when visiting London with my college during my study of A level art and was instantly struck by the nightmarish manner of his work and the impact it had on me. After reading John Russell's Francis Bacon I was really intrigued about the links with World War II and Mussolini.

Study after Velazquez's portrait of pope Innocent X
1953

I have been a huge fan of Francis Bacon's work ever since the beginning of my GCSE art course during high school. His work continued to influence me throughout my performance piece of work.
