'Love and the Devil' is an interesting example. An
account of the stormy relationship between Francis
Bacon and his muse/lover George Dyer, director John
Maybury was refused permission by Bacon's estate to
use any of his paintings in the film, but got round it
by showing a number of paintings in their early
stages, and transforming scenes into living examples
of Bacon's work.
