Cecil Beaton: Photographs 1920-1970

Philippe Garner

4.4/5 ( ratings)

Author, critic, designer, artist, decorator, noted conversationalist - Cecil Beaton was all these, as well as a talented photographer. He was entranced by the sparkling world of fashion and high society. With his camera, he chronicled half a century of people, places and fashions with skill and a deceptive lightness of touch.

The photographs in this book show Beaton as capable of making shining portraits, but they also show his sensitivity to a very different subject - war.

The author, Philippe Garner, a director of Sotheby's , explores the world and work of this remarkable photographer.
