Synopsis : [read ebook] Cecil Beaton's Bright Young Things Free Book

The stylish and extravagant world of the 'Bright Young Things' of 1920s and '30s London, seen through the eye of renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton In 1920s and '30s Britain, Cecil Beaton used his camera and his larger-than-life personality to mingle with that flamboyant and rebellious group of artists, writers, socialites and partygoers who became known as the 'Bright Young Things.' Famously fictionalized by the likes of Evelyn Waugh (in Vile Bodies), Anthony Powell and Henry Green, these men and women cut a dramatic swathe through the epoch and embodied its roaring spirit.In a series of themed chapters, covering Beaton's first self-portraits and earliest sitters to his time at Cambridge and as principle society photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair, over 50 leading figures who sat for Beaton are profiled and the dazzling parties, pageants and balls of the period are brought to life. Among this glittering cast are Beaton's socialite sisters Baba and Nancy Beaton, Stephen Tennant, Siegfried Sassoon, Evelyn Waugh and Daphne du Maurier. Beaton's photographs are complemented by a wide range of letters, drawings, book jackets and ephemera, and contextualised by artworks created by those in his circle, including Christopher Wood, Rex Whistler and Henry Lamb.Cecil Beaton (1904-80) is one of the most celebrated British portrait photographers of the 20th century and is renowned for his images of elegance, glamour and style. Beaton quickly developed a reputation for his striking and fantastic photographs, which culminated in his portraits of Queen Elizabeth in 1939. Also well known as a diarist, Beaton became a society fixture in his own right. His influence on portrait photography was profound and lives on today in the work of many contemporary photographers.

Bright Young Things The wild and hedonistic world of the Bright Young Things is to be explored in an exhibition bringing together photographs by Cecil Beaton. The show will tell the stories of a dazzling cast of often beautiful and extravagant bohemians who partied their way through the 1920s and 30s. About 150 works will go on show, some of which have rarely been exhibited. Many of the sitters have fabulous costumes and equally fabulous names. They include Beaton’s friend Mary Liliane Matilda, Baroness d’Erlanger, who was known as Baba and became Princess Jean-Louis de Faucigny-Lucinge after marrying a French aristrocat descended from Louis IX. She was a close friend of Paula Gellibrand, who became the Marquesa de Casa Maury and was Beaton’s favourite model. The two women were so close they were known as the Twins. There will be portraits of prominent socialites such as Edwina Mountbatten and Diana Mitford, the Mitford sister who went on to marry the British fascist Oswald Mosley. The ceremony took place at the home of Joseph Goebbels with Adolf Hitler as a guest of honour. Other sitters include the sulky and eccentric Stephen Tennant, the brightest of the Bright Young Things, who had a four-year affair with the poet Siegfried Sassoon and whose aim in life was to do as little as possible. He helped inspire the fictional characters Sebastian Flyte in Evelyn Waugh’s ‘Brideshead Revisited’ and Cedric Hampton in Nancy Mitford’s ‘Love in a Cold Climate’. There will also be portraits of the artist Rex Whistler, the composer William Walton, the stage designer Oliver Messel, the poet Iris Tree and the Anglophile actors Tallulah Bankhead and Anna May Wong. Beaton’s own life and relationship with the circle will also be explored, showing his transformation from middle-class suburban schoolboy to glittering society figure and Vogue magazine mainstay. ‘Cecil Beaton’s Bright Young Things’ will be at the ‘National Portrait Gallery’ from March 12 to June 7, 2020. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #cecilbeaton #writer #photographer #diarist #gardendesigner (at National Portrait Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qqmW_g3gc/?igshid=sbp8sgsdloje
