Cecil Beaton, photographer of kings and king of photographers ...his longevity, his sense of humor and above all the quality, coupled with the modernity of his shots earned him undeniable success on four continents. Famous character of the «Café Society», he symbolizes a certain idea of elegance and was knighted by the Queen for his loyal service. This anthology created in his honor will expose his incredible and sometimes unpublished pictures. I personally remember something about him, as I discovered in a Venetian palace some unpublished snapshots of Sir Cecil Beaton. Yet the owners did not seem to realize what were for them simple family portraits ...
This book in his image, chic and not taking themselves seriously, it has a wealth of information, a trip to the «Happy-Few World».
