Ce livre présente une sélection de portraits d´acteurs, d´écrivains, de peintres, de musiciens, de philosophes ou encore d´aristocrates photographiés par l´un des artistes les plus célébrés du XXe siècle, Cecil Beaton.
À chaque époque, c´est sa propre image qu´il réinvente, de l’insouciance délurée des années 1920 et 1930 aux horreurs de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et les flamboyantes années du Swinging
London. On retrouve le Duc de Windsor, Maria Callas, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Winston Churchil, Christian Dior, Orson Welles, Pablo Picasso… ; textes de Joanna Ling et Oliva María Rubio, photos en n.b. et en couleurs.
This beautiful publication presents a selection of portraits by Cecil Beaton (1904–80), one of the 20th century’s definitive and most stylish portraitists, whose œuvre spans so many phases of social transformation.
The portraits selected for this volume illustrate the range of his sitters from around the globe—actors, artists, writers, politicians, musicians, philosophers and royalty.
A tremendous innovator, Beaton had the gift of reinventing himself for each era he traversed, from capturing the froth and fun of the ’20s and ’30s to recording the horrors of World War II and the flamboyance of Swinging London. Subjects depicted here include the Duke of Windsor, Mick Jagger, Maria Callas, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Winston Churchill, Christian Dior, Orson Welles, Pablo Picasso, David Hockney, Georgia O’Keefe, T.S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley and Gertrude Stein.
With its delightful pink board cover, tip-on and embossing, this affordable volume is one of the most delightful Beaton monographs ever published ; text by Joanna Ling, Oliva María Rubio.
