Cecil Beaton (1904 1980) was one of twentieth- century Britain s
Renaissance men: photographer, costume designer, set designer,
playwright, creator of fashion fabrics, and writer on raffine
interiors and the personalities who inhabited them. He also
happened to be a fine interior decorator. Cecil Beaton at Home
focuses on two homes dear to Beaton s heart Ashcombe House, near
the Wiltshire village of Tollard Royal, and Reddish House, located
in Broad Chalke, another village in the same county as well as
London's Pelham Place and Beaton s New York hotel suites.
Simultaneously a retreat, an inspiration, a photographer s studio,
and a stage for impressive entertaining, Beaton s country homes
also fuelled his passion for art, gardening, and delight in village
life. Against his often-extravagant interiors, Beaton s private
life unfolds his unique talent for self-promotion, desire for
theatricality, and uncertain pursuit of love. This lavishly
illustrated visual biography brings together original photographs,
artworks, and possessions from his interiors to present an intimate
picture of Beaton s extraordinary life.
