Fashion, War and Portraits by Cecil Beaton

"Cocteau with a camera, Dali of fashion”

This British artist showed his versatility in various fields of art from the 1920s to the 70s, but it was his career as a photographer that structured his reputation and made him a legend. Through his exchanges with gorgeous people in high societies, his portraits harmonized classic beauty with modern refinement; favored so much as to be appointed as the court photographer of the British Royal Family.
