Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and
his talents were many. In his twenties he recorded London and New
York society in needle-sharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde
Nast's insistence, in photographs. The resulting work earned him a
place among the great chroniclers of fashion. In this classic book,
now in a sumptuous paperback edition after many years out of print,
Josephine Ross selects and introduces articles, drawings and
photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s. It
includes Beaton's essays and vignettes on high society and its
denizens, as well as such stars of the arts as Greta Garbo, Ralph
Richardson, Pablo Picasso and David Hockney. It also reproduces
Beaton's war photographs, drawings and writings, from bombed London
to China and the North Africa Desert. Beaton loved Vogue, and his
contributions testify to the wit, imagination and professionalism
that the man and the magazine always had in common.
