“Cecil Beaton: The New York Years” Displays Works of the Photo Legend

Legendary English photographer Cecil Beaton moved from England to New York in 1928 and made a name for himself between the 20s and 70s. His varied interests, intense curiosity, and unique talents had driven him to explore new fields, from fashion and portrait photography to painting and interior designing, putting his own creative stamp on each of these pursuits. As if those weren’t impressive enough, the late photographer was also an Academy Award-winning stage and costume designer for films and the theatre. In 1970, he was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame. [Enjoy: Cecil Beaton: Photographs 1920-1970]
