The second part discusses the instruments of thoughts and objects that Deleuze used for analyzing Bacon's painting. The discussion pays a special attention to the words used by Deleuze and the reasons why Deleuze criticized Bacon.

The fourth part explains the index of modernity, integrated with historical judgment, used by Deleuze on describing the devenir in material, haptique space, and smooth space, based on the display of painting. The fifth part reveals the two major concepts in Deleuze's ontology of art: abstract machine and diagram.
