" "Cecil Beaton: Portraits" is on view at the National Portrait Gallery in London until May 31 "My lack of scientific ability " "He ranked photography very low down in his achievements, but it was what he was good at," Pepper said He remained in a rarefied world of glamour and celebrity for the next 50 years, working for Vogue, Vanity Fair and other glossy publications The Portrait Gallery show offers a sultry John Wayne and a hunky Yul Brynner â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: National Portrait Gallery: www Beaton's style â€â€? glossy, elegant, artfully abstract â€â€? influenced many subsequent photographers of fame "The way he started was to make himself famous, so people wanted to be photographed by him," said Terence Pepper, curator of a Beaton retrospective that opened Feb Beaton began his career photographing hedonistic bright young things in the 1920s, including Tallulah Bankhead and the eccentric Sitwell siblings Baubles and shiny surfaces abound in the early work on display at the Portrait Gallery, giving way to ultrachic classicism, and even formal restraint, as seen later in his career And he had an eye for the zeitgeist and changing fashions The British portraitist, born 100 years ago, shot the icons of five decades â€â€? Garbo, Dietrich, Monroe â€â€? and became as famous as his subjects: as an artist, designer, dandy, wit and social chameleon "Beaton at Large" is at Sotheby's in London Feb He was good at helping people put on a show He was commissioned by Britain's royal family in 1939 and became their favorite photographer, documenting the king, queen and young Princess Elizabeth â€â€? now Queen Elizabeth II â€â€? as they did their bit on the home front during World War II " He had a dark side, too He's collaborated with (his subjects) to create the iconic image npg "They're great compositions " The centenary of his birth provides a chance to reassess the work of Beaton, who died at 76 in 1980 He was very interested in reflected glory Beaton was not purely a celebrity photographer; he shot airmen, munitions workers and child evacuees, and traveled to Egypt, India and China for the British government during World War II Nonetheless, Pepper said, "He had the professionalism to make a good picture The Beaton show moves to the Kunstmuseum, Wolfsburg, Germany from March 11-June 6, 2005 Besides his photography, he was a not very successful writer, and an extremely successful illustrator and costume designer for plays and films, including "My Fair Lady" and "Gigi Exhibit Celebrates Cecil Beaton Feb 11, 1:42 PM EST Cecil Beaton invented celebrity photography, and the photographer as celebrity You could argue that subsequent celebrity snappers, from David Bailey to Mario Testino, owe him their successful careers Of Hepburn he wrote, "Nobody ever looked like her before World War II; yet we recognized the rightness of this appearance in relation to our historical needs And Beaton's most famous wartime image â€â€? a heart-tugging shot of a 3-year-old British child injured by German bombs which adorned the cover of Life magazine in 1940 â€â€? is more sentimental than gritty His diaries, recently published in full, reveal his often wildly unflattering opinions of his subjects Even his war work includes many images of the rich and famous, including the Shah of Iran and 7-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq 10-20 "It's not warts and all," Pepper said asp Beaton was fired by Vogue in 1938 after including tiny anti-Semitic doodles on an illustration for the magazine, an incident he never fully explained S 5 at the National Portrait Gallery in London He loathed Elizabeth Taylor, but he made her look wonderful "He loved putting himself in a mirror, in a corner of the picture org Pepper's show is the first major retrospective in 35 years, while Sotheby's auction house, which owns Beaton's archive, is mounting an exhibition at its London showrooms this month He shot Hollywood royalty, too, as well as artists, including Salvador Dali and Lucien Freud, and such writers as T Eliot, Jean-Paul Sartre and Gertrude Stein " Some of Beaton's images are iconic â€â€? Monroe, sleepy-eyed and reclining, or Winston Churchill with his cigar and pugnacious scowl The 150 pictures in the Portrait Gallery show are a cavalcade of celebrity, from Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich to Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Mick Jagger Above all, Beaton had an eye for capturing beauty and for making most unlikely people look sensuous and sensitive was outweighed by my enthusiasm," he once wrote A middle-class boy who won an entry to high society through hard work and ceaseless networking, Beaton liked to cast himself as the ultimate amateur Glitz and glamour were his true metier The Queen Mother Elizabeth is there, swathed in tulle in a grand room at Buckingham Palace; so is one of her nemeses, American divorcee Wallis Simpson, who brought down, then married, King Edward VIII uk/live/ beaton Shares were down 20 cents to $24 board members Roy E Roy Disney and Gold resigned from the board late last year and launched a campaign to oust Eisner, who they said has been mismanaging the company and has failed to formulate a viable long-term strategy The two also questioned his independence because he once served as a paid consultant to the company Disney and Stanley Gold urged stockholders on Tuesday to vote against the election of four directors, including Disney chairman and chief executive Michael Eisner, at Disney's March 3 annual meeting A Disney company spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment The two object to Estrin because as chairwoman of the board's compensation committee for the past two years, she "engineered what we believe were excessive total compensation packages for the company's top five executives Bryson's wife is an executive at the Lifetime cable channel, which is half-owned by Disney Disney and the nephew of Walt Disney Mitchell is the board's presiding director, responsible for holding separate meetings of the board away from company management 20 in late afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange He was stripped of his independent status earlier this year by the board Roy Disney and Gold said Mitchell had opposed their efforts to separate the office of board chairman and chief executive In a letter sent to shareholders, the pair said voting against the directors will send a message to the board that widespread changes are necessary Shares of Disney are up 4 percent since the beginning of the year In their letter, the two said shareholders should vote against the re-election of Eisner, George Mitchell, Judith Estrin and John Bryson "We are launching our 'No' campaign in an effort to improve the long-term financial health of the company, to restore shareholder value, to return the quality of its products and services to a level that will yield sustainable growth," the letter states " Bryson is being opposed because he was counted as an independent director when he joined the board two years ago, despite what Disney and Gold say were conflicts of interest Roy Disney is the son of company co-founder Roy O Ex-Disney Board Urges Vote Against Eisner Jan 27, 3:48 PM EST Former Walt Disney Co |
