Andrew Brighton introduces Bacon as an ideologue who elaborated his view of the world--a view with origins in his homosexuality and his rejection of and by his colonial background--through his art. Brighton elucidates the values and meanings that can be ascribed to Bacon's sometimes shocking works, including his "screaming Pope" triptych. He also critically discusses previous interpretations of this provocative, self-taught artist.
