Francis Bacon, 1953 - Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X
Research
- The scream is taken from a famous moment in a film by Eisenstien's Battleship Potemkin (1925)
- Considered to be blasphemous
- Munch shows the scream as a form of infection
- The scream is the Popes darkness
- In the exhibition it is showed as a work of three
- Sourced images from diseased mouths
Sounds
- Ambient ringing
- Screaming/Screeching
- Like "haaaaaaaaar" sounds
- Religious babble
After looking into these images I have decided that I want to create a sound piece inspired by Jeff Wall's A sudden Gust of Wind because I feel that this will be challenging but an interesting piece to work from.
