Here's a puzzler:

In "Batman", the art museum scene, the Joker pointedly spared one
painting. I think it was by Ben Shawn but I'm not sure. For
you sharp-eyed Batman/Art aficianados, who did the painting and
what is its title.

Hell! His first name slips my mind at the moment, but the artist's
last name is Bacon. The title of the piece is "Figures with Meat".
It's a very disturbing piece of work, and it's certainly a fitting
painting for the Joker to admire.

Roger Bacon, just like the medieval scholar.

You mean FRANCIS BACON. (Yes, the philosopher and the artist have
the same name.)
